I just returned from my trip to Big Bend National Park<\/a> and I had a great time once again. I came away with hundreds of photos that I now have to cull through and process. That’s going to take me a few days. In the meantime, I’ll share a Tree Cholla<\/a> flower that we found along Highway 118 while scouting locations. We had to use a reflector to light the flower evenly as the harsh, mid-day sun was casting shadows across the face of the flower.<\/p>\n

The weather in Big Bend was very windy and dry. The Texas Wildflowers<\/a> were practically nonexistent. There were also no clouds for most of our sunrise and sunset photos. As a result, I decided to focus my efforts on photographing wildflowers and the night sky. I did come away with some decent landscape photos. The trip was a great experience nonetheless and I’m looking forward to returning in the fall.<\/p>\n

Tree Cholla – BBNP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This image was taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark III<\/a> using my Canon EF 100mm f\/2.8L Macro Lens<\/a>. The camera was set on Manual mode with the aperture set at f\/7.1, shutter speed at 1\/2000th of a second and the ISO set at 500. I am trying to use natural lighting in my wildflower photographs so I did not use a flash.\u00a0There was quite a bit of wind that day and so I had to use a very fast shutter to stop the movement. This was a single image processed in Lightroom and Nik ColorEfex Pro.<\/p>\n
