Saw this on the Many Glacier webcam and luckily captured it, as the sheep were gone
when the image refreshed.

Moose on the loose in Many Glacier at 7:15 this morning. Look closely and you'll see a third one coming out of the water.

There's a new webcam at Two Medicine, and I caught a pretty nice sunrise this morning.

Bride and groom on the end of the dock. From other screen shots looks like they were doing wedding pics.

The views here in the Flathead valley really suck.What little snow we've had is steadily melting. Unseasonably warm weather is forecast for the rest of the week.
However, the view isn't bad everywhere.
Webcam image today from Apgar lookout.

Hi James:
If you're asking me...
The web cam pic from Apgar lookout had nothing done to it.

As for my images on my thread(s)...
If I post them as what I call "snaps" or "snapshots" I don't usually do anything to them other than resizing and maybe brighten the shadow areas.

Images I consider "nice" I resize to 1000-1200 pixels wide from 6000 so they'll fit on the chat pages.
Then depending on the image I'll do one or more of the following in Photoshop Elements:
Apply the "haze removal" tool, the "sharpener" tool, lighten the shadows, darken highlights, and increase saturation.
I don't like to go overboard with the saturation because I don't care for the "unnatural" look that gives to an image.
An exception to that saturation rule would be an image like this one below where I wanted to bring out the color in the rocks in Lake McDonald.
But yet not make the blue sky or green in the trees look weird.

Most of my posted images are uncropped. I try to frame the images as best I can when shooting them.
If I print them, then they will usually have to be cropped.

pete :wink:

The horizontal dimension of this image is original and uncropped.
I had to crop the bottom of the image slightly to get most of my tripod and camera's shadow out of the frame...although you can still see a bit of the camera shadow at the bottom. I wanted to retain as much of the rocks as possible.

Here's a couple of webcam shots from Many Glacier now that the cams are working again.

Wish I was there! Nice reflection--image is unaltered
Image

Image adjusted in Elements with tools mentioned above-- haze removal, sharpness, lighten shadows and highlight darker areas.
No saturation adjustment on this image.
So you can see just a minute or two of easily made adjustments can improve an image considerably--especially the sky.
