Since we got a bit of snow today, I figured I would pull a photo out from the summer time. A few friends and I took our mountain bikes and explored a ridge near home where there was a good bit of awesome single track riding. Here, Kyle is hopping off a rock as we dive deeper into the forest.

Behind The Scenes

Camera: Canon EOS 6D
Lens: 24-105L
Focal Length: 24mm
ISO: 
160
Aperture: f/4
Shutter Speed: 1/100th
The Tools: 15 Inch Macbook Pro
Location: Hunlock Creek, PA
Other Good Stuff: Lightroom 5,  Nik Color Efex Pro 4

Workflow: To accomplish the slight motion blur in this photo, I lowered my shutter speed to 1/10oth of a second and panned with the rider. After bringing the photo into Lightroom, I only did some minor exposure adjustments, then moved on to Color Efex Pro 4 to add some vignetting and bring out the green and add more contrast to the photo.
