Yellows and Greens of Bull Creek
I'd read about St Edwards Park and the trail system a few years ago but with travels to other national parks out west, I'd just never found that extra time to wander the trails in this part of north Austin. So one morning my golden and I headed out to enjoy a walk and stroll to enjoy that walk in nature, receiving far more than I sought as John Muir so eloquently wrote. This is at a small creek spillway for Bull Creek and a view looking south. Here I decided to focus on a balance of the trees above with the various colors with that of the reflections on the still creek below.
Since I'm working on learning more with Lightroom while going through Jason Odell's book, I decided to use this to practice and see what I might bring out in an image. I typically use Capture NX2 and love the control points NIK came up with. Now it was time to at least learn how to use brushes to approximate that same effect and look. That's the story behind both the image capture and setting.
