Complete Retirement

June 15, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

I've been to Great Smoky National Park numerous times, but this last weekend was the first time since I retired

So, it feels like another step on the way to complete retirement. I'm not certain I am satisfied with the processing, but I just got home and I wanted to share it. I process my images first with Lightroom 5. I increased the exposure 1/3 stop, added additional exposure to the trees on the left. Boosted the clarity and vibrance, opened the shadows, and increased the highlights. By the way I used a polarizer, tripod, and a .9 neutral density filter. Exposure was 2.5 seconds at f/6.3 with ISO of 200. This stream is on the North Carolina side of the park. Conditions were perfect: cloudy and rainy. I love this place!
