California

I was hoping to shoot this as first light from the new obs but it seems Elon was in charge of the production schedule, so I had a go at Cali before it disappears. The O signal is very low and I probably (obviously) stretched it too far as I got big blue halos that I've then tried to minimise. I was thinking of doing a rainbow palette but I just can't work it out (all good practice ) so I've gone for a more traditional palette. I rode it all the way down to about 7 degrees each night, surprisingly ok (not great obs.) subs, one of the rejects had horizon in it . Framing would be better if it had a little jaunty lean to it I reckon. I had a vignette/amp glow type issue that cal didn't totally remove and I couldn't get ABE or DBE to fix it so I tried GraXpert, champion!
