Forest Dweller
There seems to be more Trilliums around this year. And they’re not as camera shy.

Dunbabin Park Rain Forest Trail

Dunbabin Park Rain Forest Trail on the ‘north end’ (Salt Spring Island)
Cool shade on a warm summer day. And a moment for quiet reflection. If you have time to do that.

Info for photographers:

I blew the image below. It’s always best to get the shot ‘right’ in the camera. Not to try to ‘fix it’ in ‘photoshop’.

Leaving the market I saw the couple again; this time in the perfect shade of a vendor’s stand. I quickly raised the camera and fired off a shot forgetting that the camera’s manual settings were intended for the blinding sun. The original image was horribly underexposed, so dark that the tattoos were barely visible.

But an advanced camera sensor with excellent dynamic range and careful ‘developing’ (in software) produced the image below. Not the recommended way to go, but lovely lucky this time.

Dynamic Range and the Leica M
