Hey guys, I got upto Wales with the parents for a weekend this weekend, and on a +/- 10 mile walk on Monday we walked through a larch forest we have been through before, only last time I didn't have my camera. I purposefully underexposed these shots by about 2 stops to really show what it was like walking through the forest, the light was just stunning.
All sharpened/colour edited slightly to bring them as close to real as possible. All shot with Canon 40D and Tamron 17-50mm, generally at F8, ISO 1000, low SS (very limits of my handholding ability).
What would I have liked? A full tripod setup and various filters, but one makes do I suppose.
I like these a lot, Rowan. Your exposures show an appealing deep, dark feeling of the dense woods. Just what it would look like, I imagine.
I particularly like the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th. Wonderful light sneaking through the trees.
i like them, it's tough to properly pull of these shots and make them carry over into photography well.
they actually remind me to an incredible degree of this one trail in the Adirondacks, NY. I mean really, ridiculously similar looking with the same sort of stream, passing through exactly the same way through a very similar looking forest, pretty remarkable.
Thanks SkiBum. The shots were not very easy, lots of kneeling/lying down to give that sense of grandeur. Knelt in the stream for no. 3 which was nice :-S
