Light My Path

I headed to an open space part of town called Ute Valley Park. There are always several people hiking, biking, and running on the trails everyday. This morning was just so nice and sunny, I decided to take a little hike there myself.
Thank you all for you amazing comments this past week!! This project just wouldn't be the same without you all!

[Ron White]

WOW! This is great Wendy. Are you using a "Cross Filter" for your sun effects?

[Paula]

Incredible sunflare!!!

[Wendy]

@ronphotos365 Thank you Ron! I sure appreciate your comments! No, I am not using a filter. I usually try to create the flare between branches of a tree, rock, or other object to get the effect. Wouldn't mind getting a cross filter one day, though!

[Amy G.]

very nice!

I have no idea how you capture such beauty, but it sure is nice to see. What great photos, Wendy.

[Paul]

gorgeous effect. Can i ask what processing you do ?

[Wendy]

@wardie Thank you so much Paul!! On this shot, I took three exposures of the same shot and used Photomatix to merge for HDR. I then did final adjustments in Photoshop with saturation, exposure, etc. I hope this helps and thanks for asking!
