Hi everyone, this will be my first post in this gallery! I'm relavtively new to digital & processing so if you have any tips or suggestions that would be great!

This image was actually recorded on Fuji Velvia 100F film. I don't remember the settings but it was taken w/ my old Nikon N80 film camera. The sun was setting over the Saguaro National Park as a monsoon storm was clearing, producing some of my favorite type of lighting (sun from behind, dark clouds ahead).

Beautiful light and color Tonia. Did you use a noise reduction program? Only suggestion I have is to use a noise reduction program such as Define 2 or Neat image...... or other. I love the storm light here as well as the double rainbow (at least a partial double).

Eva, thankyou for your feedback. Right now I only have Photoshop Elements 9 and I did apply some noise reduction, but maybe it could use more.

Sweet light, the rainbows are a nice bonus. I like this kind of lighting too :).
