The above will search Ashland Daily Photo. |
Today’s photo comes from a little over two weeks ago, when Ashland had perhaps the most spectacular sunset I’ve ever encountered. Not only was the sunset incredible in its own right, but a (sometimes double) rainbow appeared to go along with thunder and lighting. In fact, a few seconds after I took this photo, lightning shot straight through the rainbow.
I have mentioned several times before that there are situations where images shot as jpgs are “throw aways” that had they been shot in RAW format could be salvaged.
Today’s comparison is one such example. With a rainbow outside a dimly-lit gym, I had the choice of shooting the rainbow and getting a nearly black gym (above) or shooting the action on the court and getting a white sky (not shown). By shooting in RAW I was able to process the above image to come up with what you see below.
By the way, Ashland won last night, advanced to the Sweet 16 in state, and will be playing in St. Helens on Saturday. The winner moves on to the Elite 8 round.
