Tree trunk, roots, foliage and bluebell, Hardcastle Crags.

This is another photo from my final Photography Btec course submission, taken in May 2013. My topic was the 'hidden' beauty of Hardcastle Crags (eg. not the obvious popular river/waterfall shots). It was mostly the lines and textures in the bark, roots and foliage that drew me to this shot - the bluebell was an added bonus - a lovely little splash of blue amongst the earthier tones.

I've learned a lot more about Lightroom since first processing the photo, so I went back to the raw file today and started again, creating a 'new and improved' version!

Camera/lens settings: ISO 100, f/11, 1.6s, 26mm, tripod.
