Too Blue For You?



Lit only by brilliantly clear blue sky, the raw files are much more blue than this image - the same thing would happen with unfiltered film - so the question is, since once you are in the canyon your eyes quite quickly adapt the blueness of the light - how much blue is it reasonable to retain. In this image I have toned down the blue considerably yet it is still more blue than I remember. That said, I prefer this image to one which is auto coloured to remove all the blue.

What's your thought on taking advantage of the light? One might argue that the warm evening light of a low sun should be filtered till it looks like broad daylight but we seem more accepting of that.
