A redwood shedding its bark.
Today I went hiking around Armstrong Grove in Sonoma County, a redwood forest and towards the end I found this tree. Well I suppose I did not really find it as it happened to fall right across the old path. I carried my camera, extra lens and tripod through the rest of the forest so I was glad to find a good subject for a photo. One thing about redwood forests, unless you have a fisheye lens they are hard to photograph. Try taking a picture of the tree in the forest.
For this photo I used:
- Aperture f/11
- Shutter speeds 6 to 1/40 of a second
- 22mm on my 18-55mm lens
- 8 shots total
I compiled the shots with Photomatix set to:
- Strength 100
- Luminosity +10
- White point 0.800
- Black point 0.126
- Gamma 1.20
- Temperature +3
Everything else was at the default settings, or at least the setting it was at the last time I used it.
