The Rock

I have to assume that this is the Rock or a part of it on Booth’s Rock Trail.  

Leica M9, Leica Elmarit-M 28mm, ISO 160, f/22, 1/30 sec

This shot was taken on a tripod. The lens was shut down to f/22 to get as much depth of field as possible as well as the sense of dimension that comes with that.  I focused on the hyper-focal distance, which on the 28mm at f/22 is 121.6 cm.   

The shot was composed to incorporate the foreground rock and the shape an movement it offers to the mid-ground tree, with the colour of the tree and clouds forming the background.

I processed the image  with Nik Color Efex using the Dark Contrasts, Bring out Detail, and the Darken Centre Filters.

In a second step, I processed the image through Photoshop Elements, with the Craquelure, Water Paper, Glass and Sponge Filters.
