A Personal Photo Assignment in Devils Postpile National Monument

            While walking the Devils Postpile Trail and taking in views of the towering columns of rock and basalt in this portion of Devils Postpile National Monument. The view is looking to the south. 

It was as I began working on the image in post production that I then decided to once again try out the sky replacement setting in Photoshop with this image. I loved the idea of blue skies and clouds which definitely seemed appropriate for this national monument setting in what I had wanted to experience in person. So the skies are part of the Adobe stock images in Photoshop but all else is captured with my Nikon D850 SLR camera. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
