Wild Berries, by Suprada on Flickr.
Wild berries on the Ohlone Trail to Murietta Falls. Late spring, a friend convinced me to hike the 12mile round trip to Murietta falls in the Ohlone Wilderness. Didn’t make it to the falls, but the approx. 10 miles of the hike was a butt kicker – with about 4000ft vertical elevation gain. The next day, walking up and down stairs seemed much harder than the hike itself!
We started the hike at a trail at Del Valle Regional Park in Livermore. Here is the Del Valle Regional Park website link. For more information about this hike check out Kevin Gong’s account of his hike to Murietta Falls.
Post – Processing Notes:
I shot this image in RAW mode and used Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3
for my post-processing. After importing the photos
into Lightroom and keywording them. I used one preset for this photograph apart from the lightroom basic tools panel Soft Highlights by Joop Snijder.
Here is the sample image and download link at Joop’s blog. This lightroom preset is highly recommended – one of the staples in my workflow.
Technical Details:
Camera: Canon G9
Exposure: 1/320s at f/3.2
Focal Length: 7.4mm
ISO: 200
WB: Daylight

Saucer Magnolia – 1, by Suprada on Flickr.
In front of my house, there is this tree which displays beautiful pink flowers all through winter. During fall, the leaves start to fall off and the flowers bud. All through winter this tree is just twigs and flowers – brown, pink and white. In spring, it starts putting forth green leaves but still has its gorgeous flowers. And in summer, it is green and drops a lot of sap.
After I got my new 50D body, I had to try to photograph something …anything. That’s when i decided to photograph what I always wanted to photograph – the lovely Saucer Magnolia flowers.
