Behind The Lens

Location

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is known for its epic old-growth redwoods. But did you know about the park's swimming beach located on Smith River? After a day spent hiking under the redwoods, it might be nice to cool down. Smith River is prime for fishing, kayaking, and snorkeling. From Cresant City You can take Elk Valley Rd. to Holland Hill Rd. wich turns into A small winding Rd. through the redwoods. Ending up on Exit 5112 Hioughi and connecting with Hwy 199 Grants Pass.

Time

Afternoon Drive around 4 PM.

Lighting

This Park is so beautiful with every turn during the daytime. Flowers, Ferns, Trees that are standing and those that have fallen.

Equipment

Canon PowerShot SX50 HS which has Canon Zoom Lens 50X IS. 12.1 MEGA PIXELS View Setting on Scenic.

Inspiration

While Vacationing in Cresant City, California. Our Friend was taking us thrugh the Park, while I was taking Pictures. Coming down the small winding road you see on the right, I had to get out and take this shot with the light coming through the trees.

Editing

Downloading Photos into Kodack Filles, I add just A little contrast to sharpen Picture.

In my camera bag

Just A Camera and Tripod.

Feedback

I'm on the go quite A lot and try to use short timer setting to keep the Camera from moving while taking the Picture. Tripod and Timer when possible.
