Canon SD8800 digital camera.
Last Wordless Wednesday and this past Skywatch Friday posts, I shared a foggy picture taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway. On that same day trip, we crossed mile marker 418.8 known as the Graveyard Fields.
The near-naked landscape has always fascinated me. I never knew why this particular part of the parkway had this name. I figured there was actually a grave site located there, but as it turns out the fields once resembled a graveyard with upturned roots from spruce and fir trees blown down.
The dull colors of late winter in this shoot surrounded by the mystery of the fog captures the imagination, but what I really love to see is during the peak season; at night you can see speckled campfires in this barren field of overnight hikers and if you listen carefully you can hear the waters’ movement in the wind.
I decided to change the original image by applying the grayscale effect from my Fotor photo editing program, which gives my photograph an old-fashion sense. What do you think?
Photography and photo editing is an art. Some choose the untouched image over an enhanced picture but I like being creative and am glad to both options available. Do you edit your images?
