The Other Side

Edit: Uploaded a HDR version here: [link]

“I offer images- I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached- like the Doors, right? But we can only open the doors, we can't drag people through. I can't free them unless they want to be free. Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everything- not just wealth. All the bullshit that he's been taught- all society's brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren't willing to do that.”

Edited in RAW(Lightroom) with only saturation increase, contrast and levels adjustments and merged in Photoshop as a 4 shot panorama. Then gave it a boost in sharpening as a final touch to bring out some details in the rocks. The red cast in the sky is because of the effect of stacking two cokin filters together, it's not manipulated!

Anyway, as someone who loves to take photographs, one must really appreciate light. The light wasn't that great when I shot this, but we really should make the best of it eh? I'm glad that I came to this spot again. It's quite an experience.



Cheers,
