Our canoe turned up and a view from the cottage along shore, Lake Louisa. During a recent windstorm the top of a tree fell on the right, fortunately nothing was damaged.

Before I went to Cano Cristales in Colombia, I had no idea that there was a section of the river that had thick, bright green algae and so it was a bit of a bonus that I got a few shots that I liked in this section.
You may be looking at this shot and think that it was pretty straight forward to get, but I'd like to tell you a little about why it was more challenging than it looks and what I did to solve the problems.
First off, in order for the greens/yellows to pop, I had to take the picture when there was a certain amount of sun light on the river (rather than full shade from the clouds which would have made for a more balanced over-all exposure).
The problem that arose with the sun light being on the river, however, was that all the white parts on the rock were over exposed (after taking a proper exposure of the greens in the river).
The next issue with the sun being out was that it created fairly harsh shadows and so that had to be dealt with by taking yet another exposure.
The end result was that I took three different exposures and then meticulously blended them together (manually) in PS. It was far more time consuming than what one might imagine but I'm happy with the results, which in turn makes it worth the time.

This shot was taken near the water in San Diego, California, using only ambient lighting.
