Whenever You're Ready, You Should Go Outside (New River Gorge National Park & Preserve)
Whenever You're Ready, You Should Go Outside
Whether it's for play or wonder
But not everyone can find that happiness
One has to sometimes just do it
And then let the feelings come as they do
That's when a sense of adventure can happen
One can then find what is needed.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in New River Gorge National Park & Preserve while taking in views on the Fayette Station Bridge. The view is looking upstream and to the southeast. Here I used the New River flowing by and the channelized setting of hillsides and ridgelines to capture this image of a national park setting. While I could've gone for more leveled-on view, the overcast skies for me felt like more of a negative space to be minimized. I could angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and use the river as part of that sweeping view to look forward. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 4. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Foliage and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.
