For me the photography is easy, clear crisp mountain air, birds chirping, the sound of massive bull elk bugling out their commands to their domain… If it was up to me I would never leave the photo shoot, never spend a single minute in front of the computer screen.
Unfortunately the pictures don’t process themselves and they don’t upload themselves and they certainly don’t sell themselves. Were it not for the computer no one else besides me would ever even see them. It has been over a week since we returned from Rocky Mountain National Park but I’m still filled with longing to return. It’s such an amazing place, the scenery, the wildlife… I’m sure there are equally magnificent places, I would love to spend some winter days listening to the howl of the wolf in Yellowstone, maybe photograph a brown bear fishing salmon in Alaska, but for Colorado photographers, Rocky is hard to beat!
But today finds me in front of the computer screen working on the hard part of
photography, the drudgery of decoding raw files, adjusting exposures, fine tuning white balance and curves 🙁 But I have to say I do enjoy looking at the pictures once they are done, planning which ones I might decide to print and display on my wall.
I shot almost 900 pictures in Rocky those couple of days and I’m not even through the ones I selected as my favorites! I love this one of the big bull in Moraine Park, the memory of him managing his herd, bugling out his commands and chasing off rivals still vivid in my mind. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
