There's No Need for Hurry (New River Gorge National Park & Preserve)
There's No Need for Hurry
Or chasing the next storm
I'm going to take life as it comes
Good or bad; happy or sad
Being content that I am alive
At the here and now
Oh, those joyful angelic voices
The wind whistling leaves in a passing breeze
Birds add songs in symphony of life
It is so grand to delight in today!
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one overcast morning in New River Gorge National Park & Preserve while taking in views of Sandstone Falls. This was the first stop in America's newest national park that I made back in April 2021. My thinking was to take advantage of the recent rains and then overcast skies to visit locations with waterfalls. In my mind, it would be much easier to have a longer shutter speed to capture that silkier look to the waters flowing. Composing the image was a matter of setting up my Nikon SLR camera on a tripod and orienting it to capture a view across the many waterfalls present at this location. I closed down on the aperture and then metered it to minimize blowing any highlights. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 4 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
