Location
I took this up by Lake Christine on Mount Beljica in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. I am a self taught photographer so I just shoot them as I see them. I have always enjoyed taking pictures. After a couple offers to sell my work I decided to put myself out there to see what the public thought.Time
The kids and I decided to go on an adventure hoping for a panoramic view. We hiked up Mount Beljica to Lake Christine and past to the view point. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day and the view was limited and quite irry being on a cliffside. I ventured around and found this rock leaning on the mountain side. I looked through the hole and thought to myself how cool and then snap! Funny thing the rock we are looking through is quite oddly shaped. ????

Being that I am a self taught photographer I only have my Samsung Galaxy S6 and the camera it provides. I have the camera on auto so it picks the best lighting for the shot. I have lots to learn and a real camera yet to buy so I can take all those night photos I am so longing to get.Equipment
Samsung Galaxy S6 Resolution: 16.00 Megapixels Sensor size: 1/2.6 inch (5.5mm x 4.1mm) Lens: Non-Zoom (28mm eq.) Viewfinder: No / OLED Native ISO: 100 - 800 Extended ISO: 100 - 800 Max Aperture: 1.9 and a rock to hold me steady.Inspiration
I was adventuring around along the cliffside of the mountain and came across a peculiar shaped rock. I took a few shots of the rock before deciding to peer through the hole between the mountain and rock where I found the "Peeping Tree".Editing

Oh how I wish I had some equipment to carry. As of now I just have my phone.Feedback
When you see what you think is an awesome shot or something really neat take a picture, take many, many pictures.
