What a price to pay, originally uploaded by henrikj.

I’m really sorry for the lack of updates during the last two months. I’ve been busy with a lot of things, including the writing and defence of my PhD thesis.

This photo is from a bouldering session in The Real Hidden Valley in Joshua Tree National Park (there’s also a place in the park named just Hidden Valley, but I’ve got no idea why this one above is the real deal). The colors in the sky were amazing, sometimes orange and yellow and sometimes purple. As a bonus, the moon was full. As ususal, I’ve played a bit with the color temperature and the tone curve. I’ve added some fill light and blackness and added some yellow to the highlights in the sky.
