I always take too much gear -- this trip was no different.

High West
Here’s a photo of opportunity - sitting for dinner at a distillery in Park City, Utah - High West - some in this group may have even experienced their award winning Whiskey, but I digress. This was a matter of great light, and shinny objects - and I can’t lie - I’m a sucker for those also. This is basically out of camera - with sharpening but NEF.
ViewNX - when I can get away with not having to lens correct is the editor of choice - the secret “color” sauce is very, very welcomed. I wish LR 5 had the magic. LR gives me about 90% of what Nikon’s software produces. Too bad it is always the last 10% which determines the good stuff.
I’m always torn with the V1 system - as I wish the lenses were faster - as now I’m thinking of going B/W and pegging it a 1600 ASA, and just going to town and seeing what happens. If anything it will provide a new perspective - and that is always welcome.
Nikon 1 V1 - 18.5mm
East High - 100 Years
It's so cliche - but golden/blue hour light is always a winner.
East High (yes High School Musical East High) - 100 Year Anniversary graphics to capture - and I broke out the really tall tripod, Manfrotto 161mk2b and the Olympus 35mm f2.8 shift mounted to the D3s. 24mm would have been too wide -- goofy wide - so I went 35mm. But this shot is with the 85mm - as luck would have it I'm glad I caught this on the post.
I could have arrived a bit earlier for comfort - but 7am was just fine for for the 8am'ish sunrise.
Minimal editing, just a boost of sharpening, and no cropping.
