Darkwave by alexnoriega

Hey there. I know some of you have probably seen this image before, but I'm re-posting it for a reason. It's been one year since friend and photographer Jeff Swanson passed away all too young from melanoma, and those of us who knew him are putting up images in his memory. I don't have any new images processed and ready, so I'm re-posting this one that was strangely purple in its first rendition - went for a straight blue this time. You can view Jeff's images at jeffitandbethere.com - the profit from any print sales goes toward the Melanoma Research Foundation. They also accept straight donations. RIP, buddy. via 500px http://bit.ly/1Esn55P

Private Workshops and Tours Online Post-Processing Instruction Soft light skirts the otherworldly sandstone formations of this remote location in Northern Arizona, on a stormy spring afternoon. Looks best on black. There are endless opportunities for original imagery all around here, but this well-known "dragon" formation is just too appealing not to shoot while you're here! I've shot this under a variety of conditions, but I ended up choosing an afternoon with a rather blue sky for the contrast it made with the red landscape. Also, a reminder that only a couple spots remain on the workshop I'm leading with Alex Mody in Olympic National Park this September. via 500px http://bit.ly/1h4b3VJ
