Bash/"Doctor" my Yosemite Photo

That foreground area used to be a swamp, er, somewhat before my birth,
so it's both pretty flat and level.


That won't explain all the post-correction leaning trees very well.

All? Lens bend, perhaps?? I can see only one that's leaning for sure,
the dead one on the left. I can't tell if the stand on the left has a
lean or not, but: You can see more with more detail, I am sure.

There's also a tree about a third of the way in from the left that's
leaning the opposite way.

Trust me, that piece of ground is fairly level.

Hi Eric,

What would you have done?

Here is my feeble attempt to have some fun with it. Sky is partially
inherited from Iceland, startrails, northern lights and allg Kind of my
vision of how this place I've never seen could look on a dark night in full
moon, but with the northern lights we might have to move Yosemite a bit
north Anyway, it was fun playing with it - thanks for the opportunity

Nice, Arnor, I like it. Here's a variation based on yours:

Hi Mike,

To me it looks too blue. Take a look at this part of a photo:

http://www.itakefotos.com/stuff/img_2713.jpg

This photo is taken from the same spot and at the same time (within minutes)
of the photo that I used for the sky. The mountain on the far right is
moonlight only, the mountain to the left get's a bit of light from the town
lights which turn it a bit orange.

Now take a look at this one:

http://www.itakefotos.com/stuff/img_2711.jpg

This photo is taken of a mountain where the moon is shining off of the snow.
This photo is processed much the same way as I processed the photo I
uploaded and you don't see a strong blue tone to it. This is a 61 second
exposure at f/9 and ISO400 with 18-55mm lens at 18mm. It was -10C and I did
this all with my left hand and a tripod, obviously, as I had my right arm in
a sling after a minor accident. I remember it was damn cold and I was
shivering by the time I took the last shot - because of the sling I was only
wearing a shirt and a thin coat over itg
