Best Photo of the Week

My nephew has been practicing and and putting in the work for over 5 years. This weekend he was awarded his first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I’m sure he’s very proud of his achievement.

Best Photo of the Week is personal photography project where I post the best image captured that week. The image will be posted at the end of the week. That will be a Sunday. I can take one or 100 photos for the week but I will post only one, the best one.

Best Photo of the Week

Today is Monday. I missed posting my photo of the week by one day. I just too tired yesterday to get it posted.

The featured image is from a set of images I captured yesterday while walking along the D& R Canal State Park Trail with Bhavna.

I'm not sure why this particular image appeals to me. The colour of the path and the trees adds a feeling of warmth that was not present in the actual. I think the park bench gives a sense of the scale of the scene. The image feels inviting.

Best Photo of the Week

South Branch section of the Raritan River, South Branch, Hillsborough Township, Somerset County, New Jersey

While on my way to photograph the South Branch School House yesterday, I noticed the ice floating on this section of River Road along the Raritan River in Hillsborough. I could see the river through the trees, which only caught my eye because the trees had no leaves. Even though I have driven along this section of the river in the past, I don't recall noticing before, perhaps because the trees were full of leaves. I made a mental note that, after photographing the schoolhouse, I would stop somewhere nearby and walk along the river.

I parked in the parking lot of the South Branch Bible Fellowship building on Orchard Road and walked back toward the river, making sure to cross River Road carefully. I walked along the south-west trail, noticing a large number of fallen trees. I walked closer to the edge of the river, which I noticed had a steep drop from what is perhaps erosion from water from when the Raritan River was flooded. I saw that many of the trees were hanging from the edges of the riverbank, barely staying upright.

This image is from the set I used for Frank Jansen's weekly photo challenge.

I shot from a tripod and bracketed my shots. The Classic Chome Fujifilm Film Simulation preset was applied to each image and the images combined in Photomatix Pro. The Natural filter was applied in Photomatix Pro and the resulting image was imported back into Adobe Lightroom for further adjustment.
