A setting looking to the southeast while taking in views of this creek setting as it flowed through the nearby forest. This was along the Mill Prong Horse Trail in Shenandoah National Park.
While hiking the Mill Prong Horse Trail to the Rapidan Camp in Shenandoah National Park. This location is depicted on Google Maps as Big Rock Falls. The view is looking to the west, centering the waterfall in the image. I felt this composition would allow for me to use the clear waters as a foreground interest with a backdrop with the forest of trees.
I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete color setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 7 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
While taking in views and walking around the Rapidan Camp in Shenandoah National Park. The setting is looking to the southeast with the Brown House and more distance mountains as a backdrop. I liked the idea of using the graveled path as it lead into the image as part of this national park setting.

This is a panorama created from 5 sets of 7 exposures due to the extreme dynamic range present in the scene. The waterfall at 22m is actually much taller than the panoramic projection would give one to believe. There was direct sun hitting the water and patches of moss, but the bottom of the waterfall was in deep shade, hence the way I went about capturing this with HDR technique.
For the lower segment I have rotated my circular polariser 90 degrees to capture rather than remove the rainbow - I also shot the same with the orthogonal setting, but didn't bother merging that in - so some of the glare from the lower rocks remains just because I was lazy.
I found myself adjusting my bracketing range as I moved up the waterfall - I believe this was because I was refocussing as I went up else I wouldn't have had everything in focus even at f/11 (and with a 10-stop ND filter, I simply couldn't see to focus without either removing the filter, or bumping up the live view exposure compensation more than 4 stops, and likely forgot to put it back before taking the next bracket), rather than to overcome any limitation with dynamic range 7 stops would probably have been plenty.
which I learned is not. The result was lightroom refusing to do an HDR pano blend, so I merged each set to DNG, then merged these into a panorama, and it all worked fine as lightroom still made the necessarily exposure adjustments.
Processed with AuroraHDR, Luminar, and finally Photoshop (with Lumenzia).

Here is a scene from along the bayou nearby. A lot of wildlife lives here, in fact, I could hear a boar thrashing around not far from me.
I've driven by here but never really noticed the vibrancy of the greenery. Maybe it was produced by the soft even light from the overcast sky. Whatever the reason, it was enough for me to pull over and captured it with my camera.
While I stood in front of the car taking this, a fellow walking his dog came along and asked what I was taking a picture of. He thought maybe I had seen a boar, but I told him I was just impressed by the scenery of the bayou. He seemed to ponder this for a minute and then, agreed that I was on to something. He then proceeded to tell me stories about the boars and the local trappers. I suppose that's how you make small talk in the bayou.
I'm watching a Netflix show called Tales by Light (www.netflix.com/watch/81030985?trackId=200257859). In episode 2 of Paradise in Peril, they mention that we now believe mangroves sequester more carbon from the atmosphere than rain forests. Holy smokes!
That's a pretty amazing fact, and all the more reason we need to protect mangroves and allow them to thrive along our coastal communities. In Florida, we have strict laws regarding mangroves, and it's for a good reason. If it weren't for mangroves, much of Florida would have been washed away centuries ago.
We have a lot of mangroves here and see them pretty much anywhere along the water. I took this at Emerson Point one afternoon back in November. I usually look for different perspectives across the water, but now it seems I've been missing the main character all along; the amazing mangrove tree.
