Wildflowers, by Suprada on Flickr.
Wildflowers 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.
