October 5, 2008 A rare self-portrait... Stopped off at the highest point in New Jersey today...As far as state high points go, this is a nice one, located inside a state park, and well marked, I'd say. I believe the marker is 220 feet high... This is about the 6th or 7th (state high point) for me...and while I'd like to get all 50, I think Washington and Alaska might be a bit much... Post: -Photomerge of 4 shots (landscape orientation) -Some touchup (clone/copy/paste) on the merge points -Slight shadow/highlight adjustment -Levels adjustment -Some distortion correction
