Biketrack Boulders
Last image in this series of the Bike track at Hillside Park in Lamont.
To be honest I am not sure if I even noticed the the street lamp at the left while shooting. I may have been able to adjust my position slightly to lose it. I could also have eliminated it quite easy when processing, but I actually like it, with it's glow from the sun. I suppose it gives a clue to the viewer that we are in civilization, and because of it's small size it tends to make the rocks look more like huge boulders.
Exposing for the sun and sky, I knew the land would be silhouetted, and to keep the sky from getting too dark while keeping some colour in the sun I shot with the sun partially blocked, tucking it in between the ground and the rock. So I guess you could say that the sun was between a rock and a hard place.
Of course I had to choose a small aperture, as I just love sunstars. The end of the day, or maybe the beginning, depending on how one wants to see it.
