 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's my mountains again. Notice how I call them "my" mountains! Kind of possessive, eh? Gosh I love living here! Next time you come to northern Utah, I'll take you on a hike in them!

PS: Cloned out LOTS of sensor dust. I really gotta get that cleaned! I converted to b/w using the channel mixer with high greens and reds and low blues. I then selected the sky and cleaned it up and added contrast. I used a little motion blur between the textures in the clouds (the parts that already contain striations) to clean it up more. I also used Unsharp Mask at a very high pixel radius and low percentage to add contrast without necessarily darkening my darks. Resized, sharpened, and added border.

Thanks to Larus (and others?) who recommended this lens to my wife when she gave it to me for my birthday. I love it!
