Same camp, same photographer…. 5 years between these 2 photos.
I remember taking the first photo and just kind of winging it. Muddling through the post processing and editing until I got to what you see here. I was proud of that photo, but mostly because of what the camp means to me.
Fast forward 5 years to the second photo. This time I had a general plan of how I wanted it to look, the angle of the shot, and the extra experience and familiarity with my gear. I have learned that (usually) less is more with editing and post work, so I minimally touched it up and let the gritty/raw image speak for itself.
If you asked me which photo I prefer, I would choose the 2nd photo every time. But I never would have gotten there without the first. Here’s to learning and growing!
