I doubt there is an image that would be more emblematic of our visits to West Virginia than the one above. I found this in an archive of photos while looking for another picture. This is my nephew Kyle walking with my son Zachariah up our creek to “Flat Rocks.” This photo simply makes my heart smile.

It was shot on my old Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35. It was a 10.1-megapixel camera and the version I found was obviously cropped from the original 3648 x 2736 pixel size. So it was quite small. I used two Topaz AI products to “revive” upscale it. First using Topaz DeNoise AI, the Topaz Gigapixel AI. Then I took the image into Luminar NEO to enhance the color. It’s not perfect, but it’s way better than the version I found.

Over the next few days, I’m looking forward to capturing a few more West Virginia moments. Our family reunion visit is long overdue. Take me home.
