It's been close to a month since my visit to the Salton Sea.   Since then I've gone to Portland, and the Columbia Gorge.  It seemed like things kept getting in the way of publishing the two galleries.  Now in one weekend I'm publishing both Galleries. I think you'll see that the delay in the Salton Sea Gallery wasn't because the place had no photo possibilities.  In fact, I found it to be an amazing place, and I can't wait to go back.

This is a 12 shot HDR Pano (36 photos) taken at the Salton Sea.  I had to try running in Photoshop 4 different times to get the photo the way that I like it.  I was getting a weird bow in the horizon line.  I ended up having to straighten out all 12 photos in Lightroom, then loading to Photoshop.  But I think the results were worth it.  What do you think?

Let's see... I worked on this picture in Lightroom, Photomatix, and Photoshop. I made 2 layers. Desaturated the top layer. Did a high pass filter. Changed the blend mode to Hard Light.  Tweaked in Topaz Detail, Topaz Adjust, and Viveza 2.  And it is a picture of bird poop.
