Did a quick conversion on this to give it more life.  The greens were a bit faded and I knew going to B&W would revitalize it, so I dropped it into Silver Efex Pro 2 and the result is below.  The shot is from the springs just above Gorman Falls.  A wonderful place to hang out and shoot for the morning…

 

So TLS starts tomorrow folks and I am pumped for it.  Downed a massive amount of BBQ already enough to feed about 5 people and then went shooting (great idea I know).  Settled down near the Llano river for a while to see what I could see and polish up on those long exposure skills.  The water wasn’t flowing very fast, but the end it helped out a bit and I caught the shot below.

On the way back up the hill I found this old swing and snapped one more shot before the light was gone…

 

Yep, you guessed it.  It is a BIG rock in the middle of Texas.  This place was a great stop on the TLS a lot of different scenes all in one place.  The rock formations themselves are wild.  Layer upon layer of rock just bulged up out of the ground and has slowly been eroding back down to earth over the past couple 100K years or so.  To me it looked like I was standing on a pair of Volcanic Cores, but I was schooled in the ways of Texas geography and am better for it now (Thanks Jeff!!)
