Renewing My Outside Membership as Often as I Can (Lassen Volcanic National Park)
While walking along the Reflection Lake Trail with a view looking to the west across a nearby grassy meadow and lake waters. This is in Lassen Volcanic National Park. What I had wanted to do in composing this image was to get down low and capture a look across the grasses and waters with the backdrop of evergreens and blue skies. I liked the color contrast that the blues in the image had to the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.
I chose to work with HDR Efex Pro 7 to better bring that complete color setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 8 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
