2014 Photo Gallery
All Photos Copyright © 2014 Henning Umland
These Photos were made during a 5-week trip through Nevada, Arizona, and Utah in April/May 2014.
The RAW image files supplied by the camera (Nikon D300S) were processed with Darktable 1.4.2 and The Gimp 2.8.
Darktable was used to adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, color temperature, and sharpness, and to convert the RAW files to the PNG format.
Afterwards The Gimp was used to do some retouching (dust speckles, vapor trails, wires), correct perspective distortion, and convert the PNG
files to the JPG format.

Upper Antelope Canyon, near Page, Arizona
Antelope Canyon was a big disappointment to me. This place is extremely crowded with tourists. Hordes of people get channelled through this narrow canyon (both ways at the same time!). In this pushing and shoving, you have to be very patient to get a clear view for a decent photo (if you are at all willing to pay the hefty fees for admittance and camera permit).
