Follow The Path

What a beautiful late winter day this was. I had spent most of it editing in a darkened room and needed to get out. I went to a local park for the intention of climbing a tree to get my shot of the day, but this scene presented itself less than 2 minutes after I started walking the trail. The subtle curve of the well worn path and the starkness of all of the bare trees was an easy choice for my composition. I switched to my 70-200 and shot wide open for the first shot. It was too much, so I stopped down to the “sweet spot” of the lens, f/8 for this image.
