4x5x365 – Image 193

I drove up a dirt road and found a cool creek to take some pictures. I knew it was going to be a really contrasty scene and I was right. The negative was barely usable.

When I took this photo I knew it was going to be tough to develop. When I pulled it out of the wash, I nearly tossed it in the trash. At the last moment, I decided to save it and see if I could salvage an image. Thanks to the magic of Adobe Lightroom, I was able to get a halfway decent image out of it. Not something I would ever send to a client, but something that reminds me how difficult it is to photograph sunlight streaming into a dark forest.
