One of my first pictures taken in Seoul with a dslr. This is my way to work.... Picture was actually taken in January 2010 if I'm not mistaken...or was it 2009?

The Jessup Path traverses a marshy area between the Park Loop Road and Dorr Mountain.
Since the day had started with rain but by mid-morning was merely overcast we decided to photograph in a wooded area. I suggested the Jessup Path because I had been there in the summer and found the area to be quite interesting since it was flat (unlike many of the popular Mount Desert locations) and the woods were open with very little understory vegetation. Originally the plan was to take the path starting at the south end from the Nature Center parking lot but a trail crew was working on installing a bog walk (the path is usually very wet and the walk will make it easier to access and prevent trail widening). Instead we looped via the Stratheden Path to where the Great Marsh fire road intersects Jessup. From there we were able to go South a little ways along the path.
I setup the tripod so that very little of the sky was included in the picture, I didn't want to have blocked up regions that would require multiple extractions from the RAW file with multiple layers and complicated masking in Photoshop. I also decided this was a good picture to have the smallest depth of field possible and isolate the trunk by making the background out of focus, which is unusual for me.
The final image is made up of two extractions from a single RAW file. The first was for the birch trunk, the highlight contrast was increased very slightly to improve the separation of the mid-tone grays from the white of the bark. The second was for the background which was made slightly darker than normal. The two images were placed in separate layers and masks created so that the subject birch trunk is lighter than the out of focus trunks in the background. The trunk of the fallen birch on the left was made slightly darker so that it was less distracting.

I have found the RAW converter in the otherwise excellent Picture Window Pro 5 to be pretty poor for files from my Olympus. Nevertheless, while testing other RAW converters I have been unable to replicate the unique tones of this version of this picture. Sometimes there are more important aspect to a photograph than technical quality.
The Haunted Path is a family attraction at Diana's Pumpkin Patch in PEI. Not only is Diana's a great place to go for fresh garden vegetable including every description of pumpkin you could imagine, it's also a great place to entertain the kids. The venue is decorated with all manner of scary Halloween-like figures and, of course, pumpkins galore!

The start of one end of the Jewel Lake Loop path. Dry and depressing right now. More on that in an upcoming blog post.
Some times the path in life is uphill. Occasionally it changes direction. Some of your steps will be bathed in light and others will be cold and blue!
Not sure I got the focus right on this - I like the depth of field, and the light, but maybe focus is too much in the foreground?
I used this photo as the response to Dan Wright's piece The road to who knows where for our palimpsest:sublimation project
