I've been playing with Color Grading. All this done in Lightroom Classic. Love its masking, especially Color Range, Luminous Range, Subject, and being able to add and subtract with many masking choices.

Reworked an old shot from 2012 on a m4/3rds Panasonic G2 to my current dark dramatic and somewhat minimalist look.

I play a lot with light and shadow. Finding a seldom-seen rainstorm at sunset at the dunes is pure joy. The fun story here is that the folks at the front desk apologized for the 'bad weather' that day. Yay! No plain blue skies for us today! Storm chasing thru the desert! May 1, 2018

Our Subaru got stuck in the mucky dirt road, When we got moving again, we turned around and left for other adventures in the Palouse, but I got the shot.
