Photo # 1 - Hiker viewing one of several waterfalls on Canyon Creek, near Lake Faucherie, Tahoe National Forest, California.
Can you guess what I did to photo #2 (below) in Lightroom to achieve the results you see in #1? This week I'm doing something a little different with my Monday Makeover. Instead of telling you what I did, I am curious to see if you can guess what I did. I will let the cat out of the bag, after I get a few responses.
Photo #2 - This is what the photo looked like straight out of the camera.

Photo Update - the cat is out of the bag! (July 10th)
Thanks to all of you that gave your best shot at guessing what I did during this photo makeover. I won't make you wait a minute longer. I am now letting the cat out of the bag. Here is what I did to the original photo in Lightroom 2.
- Set White Balance to daylight.
- Set the Fill Light to +40.
- Set the Clarity to +100.
- Set the Vibrance to +70.
That's it folks. Thanks again for your participation and for your patience!

Our campsite at Canyon Creek Campground, CA
Here are a couple more photos from our trip to
Lake Faucherie and Canyon Creek in Nevada County. The photo above is of our campsite along Canyon Creek. We borrowed this tent trailer from our wonderful neighbors, who insist that we use it whenever we want to, except for a couple weeks out of the year. So, we have been taking them up on their offer.
We prefer to travel the back roads and often by four-wheel drive. This trailer would not make it into a lot of the places we go, but most people are amazed at some of the places we do take it. Canyon Creek Campground was one of those places. Most of the people we talked to were complaining about the road and couldn't believe we made it in with a tent trailer. To us, it was just another dirt road!
We will eventually invest in our own RV and the first one we get will be an off-road tent trailer.
Peg's tent site at Canyon Creek Campground, CA.
Canyon Creek Campground is quite the camping spot! First of all, there is no fee to camp at this beautiful, uncrowded campground located along Canyon Creek. The campsites are spacious and most of them are equipped with bear boxes for storing your food. There are also picnic tables, fire rings and clean pit toilets. Now, that's what I call getting a lot for your money!

Sherri getting a foot massage in Canyon Creek, Lake Faucherie, CA
After hiking and boulder hopping for several hours, it was time for a foot massage. This photo looks like an advertisement for
Chaco Sport Sandals!

Sherri taking time out from her job, Canyon Creek, Lake Faucherie, CA
Most often, there aren't many photos taken of the one taking the photos! But, thanks to my husband Jeff, he made sure that I was actually on this trip too.
Part of what I love so much about my job, is that I get to "wear many hats!" I get to be the photographer, the model, the teacher, the researcher, the planner, the editor, the writer and the list goes on. But, unfortunately, the percentage of time behind the camera is far less than the time spent in the office - for now anyway. Changes are coming in the near future!

Peg heading for the swimming hole at the upper falls, Lake Faucherie, CA
Mara was right! This hole had it all. Great access, large, flat rocks for lounging and beautiful scenery all around. Again, we had this place all to ourselves! I will be posting more photos of our adventures soon, so check back often!

Photo - Peg Challender and Mara Noelle hiking to the upper falls, Lake Faucherie, CA
Mara had checked out the swimming hole below the upper falls earlier in the day. She added that it was by far the best of the bunch to dip in. So later on, the 3 of us returned there for a little dipping and relaxation.

Photo - Peg Challender explores Canyon Creek, Lake Faucherie, CA
While some of the others in our group were doing a little skinny dipping, Peg explores Canyon Creek just below waterfall #2. She looks like a
REI and
Title Nine catalog model to me!

Photo - Hikers Peg Challender, Bill Stack and Dolly take a lunch break at Lake Faucherie Falls #2.
Now I know where the saying “Dog Tired†came from! Dolly was really living up to it. She had been hiking and boulder hopping for hours. When we returned to camp later in the day, she could hardly move. But, just like her Dad, Bill, she was a great sport!

This was a nice place to cool off on a hot, late summer day.
