I'm a little late getting this late summer image posted, but that's just how it is for me this year. Our little man called me "Dada" for the first time last week.
I stopped by Raper Creek Falls in North Georgia on my way up to North Carolina. I came here several years ago in my JPEG shooting days, so this one has been tabbed as a do-over for a while. I expected cloudy skies, but on this side of the ridge it was mostly sunny. Some hornets chased me off at first. I headed back down though when a moderately sized puffy cloud appeared.
This comp was pretty much guess and check. The camera body was right up against the rock wall, so there was absolutely no way to see what I was about to shoot. That foreground pool just had to be in the shot entirely to show the immense power of water. It took several images, I think 4-5 stops apart, to capture this scene. The close proximity of the white water and the deep shadows just make any other method impractical. The trick with blending images like this is making sure you add back tons of contrast to make it look like it did when your eyes saw it.

This crop was thought to be mustard early in its growth,how wrong i was.
Rape Seed Oil was produced in the 19th century. 40 million tones of rapeseed was produced in the 2009. Cold pressed rapeseed oil has great for taste and good for health. It has a subtle flavor, sort of earthy and nutty but not overpowering making it really versatile. Mixed with balsamic vinegar the softness of the oil makes a lovely salad dressing for summer. It is also good for cooking like stir-fry.
