    clouds over the volcano

    Mt Baker showing through and under. Took it from car in an awkward spot (please don't hit me from behind while I'm stopped in he middle of the road! )
    Not much PP to do to it.

    It will be multiplied in beauty if you remove most of the sky above and make it looks like a pano

    +1 for Nandakumar's comments. We risk life and limb to get the shot. On this occasion it was worth it.

    A couple of thoughts from me Sharon. You said in a previous post that you were just beginning to get to grips with Lightroom. One of the most useful tools to get to know is the Levels tool. I allows you to correct the exposure range in your image, in the first instance, by moving the left and right sliders to the edges of the histogram plot. Provided the it is present in the exposure, this corrects for highlights that are too bright and shadows that are too dark to show detail. The centre slider corrects mid tones. You won't always want to do this, particularly where you have say an atmospheric image in mind (e.g. your previous post) but in general, it helps. The second thought is just an alternative crop (to which I have applied the Levels tool). i.e.

    Thank you so much! I know the basic tools of lightroom, but haven't worked yet with the slider tools. If just need to work harder at getting a better histogram out of camera. I'm not using my camera as well as I should. What you describe makes sense, and the edit is 1000 times better and shows what I really did see, and even better. Thanks for taking the time!
