I pretty much like all of them, but this is the one I like today. There is no water in this one, but it comes from the same batch I got at Anna Ruby falls. It is obviously a trail. It is the trail from the bottom of the of the mountain\/hill to the top where the happy little waterfall lives. I stopped many times on the hike up hill, both for photo opportunities and for breaks. It was a steep hill and I needed every break I took. Next time I need to bring a bottle of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I barely did anything to this exposure. I was moving along systematically in Lightroom, as I do, and this was the next thing. There are a few more from this location\/scene that are different in their ways. I chose this one to like today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No crops. No fancy grading. No masks. No fancy edits. All I did to this one was change the profile to Adobe Landscape. Then enabled HDR editing in LR (Lightroom). Did a quick auto levels for the illuminati, (I recently heard another photog refer to luminescence in this manner and found it cheeky) and saturation. Finally I made a slight adjustment the monotone-luminescence-level using the tone curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was quite happy with the results when looking at them in LR. But there is a lot of processing every time an exposure changes format. I say that because when I exported to a small JPEG, for use in this blog post, and later upload to Facebook, that image didn&#8217;t quite set right with me. At least I wasn&#8217;t as happy with the outcome as when I was exclusively in LR. Specifically, the dark hollow is to me seeming a bit too dark. I hesitate to post it, but am going to anyway as a learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I probably should just not post any of this, but I will because I took the time to write it. I doubt I&#8217;ll come back to play with this image and refine it anytime soon. There isn&#8217;t any specific reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa0b2416b1f4&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa0b2416b1f4\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-06-20_Anna_Ruby_Falls_9123.jpg\" alt=\"Anna Ruby Falls\" class=\"wp-image-2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-06-20_Anna_Ruby_Falls_9123.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-06-20_Anna_Ruby_Falls_9123-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carterpix.com\/wordpress1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-06-20_Anna_Ruby_Falls_9123-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like this one.
