Fern Canyon


This was a great little trip off the main road.  Fern canyon is about a eight mile drive on a dirt road through a redwood forest.  If the theme song to Jurrasic Park isn’t playing in your head during this drive you are inhuman!  The Canyon goes on for a few miles and is an incredible hike.  you need to be able to climb over rocks and down trees to complete it.  We only went about a mile up the canyon and that still left a huge impression on us.  The Canyon it self has 30 foot walls that are covered in vibrant green ferns, but light is scarce.  much like the redwood grove this is a challenging location to isolate your subject.  This photo I made uses color contrast and depth of field to separate my subject from its back ground.
