Day 252 - Goomburra Hike

Went for a 3 hour hike with half of the Tierney gang today.  We saw some nice scenery and I made a mental note for some sites to come back and explore a little further.  While I had plenty of time to sit around and relax, I continued reading a book by John Blakemore, Black and White Photography Workshop which has taught me a lot about film developing techniques which translate directly for digital as well as looking for tonal differences and how to correctly expose for those situations.  Keen to try out some of the things I've read in future shots.  To summarise it, "Expose for your darks (capturing the image), develop for your highlights (processing / photoshop)".

Technical:
Canon 7d camera
EF70-200 @ 110mm
ISO 100
f/32
20secs

Image Manipulation:
Small rotate, crop and vibrance boost, final sharpen

    The bar has shifted - upwards - again. This shot has lovely movement from the water, a great perspective allowing my eye to wander through the composition and simplicity in subject matter. The green adds a perfect highlight to the rocks and water colour. P
