One of my favorite hikes is on the Sequoia Bayview Trail, especially after a good rain. On my walk, I shot photos with both my 50 mm - "nifty fifty” - lens and my 24-70 zoom lens. I liked the sharpness of the 50 mm prime lens. In both cases, I opened up the aperture and shot on manual settings. I used Light Room to add special filters. The final nine photos I shot with my new full frame Canon.
