2011 Arts Walk: Zane ~ Off the Beaten Path

Hello Photographers! This space is dedicated to a group of photo enthusiasts who will be diplaying their photography at the Fall 2011 Olympia Arts Walk. We have all studied under the guidance of Barbra Kates, and this will be our first public display capturing our learning, for some, over the last year and a half. Our exhibit is being hosted by Don's Camera, which has so graciously donated the front of the shop for our work. The Blogspot is for all committed entrants to post weekly images based on the weekly photo assignments.

Zane ~ Off the Beaten Path

Metadata: 1/400s, f/13, ISO 200, Focal 55 mm.

On the Reflection Lakes road, a good lookout presents layers of the Cascade Mountain Range looking south and to the coast. This photo was an experiment in defining those fading mountain layers using composition of thirds, and PS enhancements. Primarily used defined mountains by amping the color density and a bit of contrast. the foreground was lightened to bring out green tree detail. Am a bit unhappy with the sky, however it was very hazy.
