The light in Kamloops.

I just got back from a short trip to Kamloops, where I grew up. One thing that always amazes me is how beautiful the light is there. It's so gentle but present. I've never seen light like it anywhere else. The dustiness of it works well with the bare hills covered in sage and grass. I find that people on the coast don't really get it. To them it looks dead and dirty. I'd like to think my attraction to it is more than just nostalgia.

I really tried to capture this feeling. In doing so I dramatically changed my processing style. My sliders still go to 11, I'm just more subtle about which ones.

I've taken quite a few photos in Kamloops over the past year, but these are the only ones I've got around to working on. I'm storing them in the countryside gallery for now, but I might open up a dedicated Kamloops gallery.
