 p.1 #1 · Not the Destination, But The Journey | |
A small series I shot last September, on 2 separate hikes to waterfalls. I did shoot either falls, and have posted here already, but this set is not about that. It is about the journey, with it's own beauty to see, to those destinations. The diffuse light from a mostly overcast sky, along with the saturated colours from moist conditions of intermittent showers I thought gave these scenes a surreal, story-like appearance. In fact, the urge to have named this after a movie or Led Zepplin song was strong... 
C&C always welcome!
1) Not as sharp as I would have hoped, but was the inspiration for this whole series, so I feel obliged to include it:
2) The strongest urge to name this pic after a certain movie about little characters with big feet transporting a piece of jewelry...especially a landscape version I also shot that I will post in it's own thread later:
3) Wasn't sure about some of what appears as perspective distortion in the trees, although this one the trees actually did slant away from each other to begin with:
4) The trail isn't as strong in this one, but it is there, a little squeeze between the trees:
5) The Staircase - I probably would have just cut the trail around that little hummock, but someone else figured maybe it was an interesting feature to go over it:
6) Closer view of The Staircase, it just goes up this side, then down the other:
7) Finale - Got a little sliver of sun through the trees for this one. Mostly what that meant was more editing for me to keep control of the shadows and highlights:
