See This Glimpse Of My Beautiful Weekend Getaway!
I don’t remember this lone tree being so beautiful in person, but wow. Look at how this turned out! It was a pretty cloudy weekend, but the clouds parted in just the right way for this picture. I brought down the highlights quite a bit and turned up the dehaze slider in Lightroom and voila! Just think of the metaphors that could be used thanks to this tree! Check out the tree in the picture associated with this article! Find me a tree like that one!
As I turned from the tree in that first picture, this was the view I saw behind me. Who wouldn’t want to getaway to a place with a view like this one? Just check out the reflections in the pond. Mmmhmmm.
Just in front of this pond was a small dock with a rope tied around one of the posts. I should have brought a boat for the weekend! Oh well. I have always loved boating. My dad was taking me sailing before I even learned to read. This dock brought back some beautiful memories. Water has always been a great getaway. My happy place. I even swam on a swim team for several years. My family used to call me a fish.
As far as the edits for this picture, I turned up the shadows, contrast, reds and oranges. I wanted the wood texture to pop.
I have always been a sucker for dock photography. I mean, just take a look at this one!
As I was walking down the road, I thought to myself, I need to getaway more often. Isn’t this dirt road so picturesque? That is the mountains of Idaho for you. Yes, please. One thing is for sure. It was a beautiful weekend for photography. Despite the clouds.
