I Met Another on the Road, And We Both Enjoyed the Forest (Mammoth Cave National Park)
A setting along the main walkway from the visitors center in Mammoth Cave National Park down to the main, historic entrance into the namesake cave. Earlier that morning when I'd been heading down with a group for a cave tour, I found myself really loving this setting with the forest all around and this walkway leading off into the distance. I hadn't had the time to really compose any image during that walk with the group around me then. Afterwards though, I did find some time to take in the setting and figure out a good point to compose an image while minimizing some of the fogging that tended to happen across my lens from the fog that was all around. After doing some initial work in Capture NX2 for saturation, brightness, and contrast, I used some CEP filters (Foliage, Pro Contrast, and Polarization) which seemed to best bring out this look even with the overcast skies and off and on drizzle with fog for the final image.
