a toad among nature

I’m a bit behind on my processing of photos, and getting caught up.

Here are a few shots from a walk in High Park in June.

A toad sitting on a rock.

A mixed-use path leading through trees making a natural arch over the path.

A tree arching over a pond and reflected in the water, making an oval shape.

Some stone steps leading slightly to the left below a tree.

The base of a dead tree, eroded over time.

I’d like to keep them coming as I get through my backlog. Thanks for reading!

woodland shots and colour grading

A short, naturally-worn length of log lying in a woodland area.

A brownish Eastern gray squirrel clutching the side of a tree and looking at the camera.

A dirt road winding among a wooded area, with sunlight peaking through the trees in a few spots.


I experimented with colour grading on my last batch of photos. The main thing was to try and tame the bright greens of tree leaves (photos were taken in the Summer), which after applying my standard Camera colour profile in Lightroom look a little unnatural. See the shots above to see what they look like with this colour grading applied (click for gallery). It’s not exactly realistic, but I think it looks pretty nice. Not sure if I’ll take it this far again, but it was fun.
