Never Forgetting to Take a Break to Enjoy What Is Good Around Me (Pinnacles National Park)
While walking the Condor Gulch Trail with a view looking southwest and to a nearby lone tree in Pinnacles National Park. This location is along the higher points of the ridges in this part of the national park and near the intersection with the High Peaks Trail. So given that, I decided to take advantage of the height I was located on and capture a look across some of the nearby landscape, but really focus on having the blue skies with wisps of clouds as a backdrop. I felt those blue skies and clouds helped to better highlight the lone tree in the image. The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
