What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

A friend and I decided to find inspiration amongst the redwood trees of Santa Cruz, Calif. After hiking off the beaten path for a few miles, we wandered into another national park where we had to cross this creek to continue! Before crossing, however, I decided to test a panoramic style where I could then stitch the photos later in the lightroom. I was very happy with my results! Although the day was cloudy and rainy when the photos were taken, I managed to capture a solid reflection from the stillness portion of the creek. The photograph is about 25 pictures in total.

Advice

  • I wish it could have been a clearer day with more light/reflection.

If You Remember, What Were the Camera's Settings?

Aperture was open

That photo turned out very nicely - great job on the panoramic effect!
