Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina

---

I photographed the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA many years ago, probably on Provia Professional RDP II film, because that was my transparency film of choice. All those blue tones were captured on the original slide, which you can check out at my Getty link below the photograph, which I have tweaked a little in Adobe® Photoshop for this presentation.

Back before the digital era, I used to send my carefully chosen transparencies to Getty Images in Dublin Ireland for editing! At first they kept all the original slides in their possession in case anyone requested a buyout of the originals, but soon they began to run of space. So, one day they returned all my transparencies to me.

I scanned this image into my computer a few years ago using a Nikon Coolscan 4000 with a transparency adapter, but I do need to update the equipment if I wish to do any more scanning! I'm not sure if it will work with windows 10. I have not tried it out in years!

This is also the perfect choice I think for @kalemandra's Xcolorchallenge, because today is Friday and the color is sky blue.
