"Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships."
-Ansel Adams

The same applies to colors; the camera can capture what your eye may not, but it's our job to bring it out to its fullest potential in post.

Sky on Fire (2013)
I was in Death Valley, CA with some colleagues of mine and this greeted us one morning. I hadn't bothered to mess with this photo in all that time, proving once again that keeping old RAW files is always a good idea.
