A walk in the woods.....

[Marcel]

Not sure which forum to put this in :thinking:, Animals and Nature or Landscapes and Scenery...

Anyway, this forum was a bit quieter, so I'll shove these in here :)

Went for a walk on Saturday morning, after getting up at half past 5 on the promise of patchy mist and fog.
I had about 5 hours sleep, waking up every hour or so, looking out of the window, seeing it all foggy and thinking "Excellent!". When I finally got up and looked out properly, it wasn't foggy at all, the window had just steamed up :lol:

I was originally hoping for sunlight streaming through fog in woodlands type shots, but went out for a long walk anyway, and here are the shots I got.

All very nice shots Marcel but #2 is very pleasing to the eye for me. I like the way the path leads you into the pic, very nice. I think it works better shot in portrait mode.

as above 4 for me but 6 is very good aswell nice shots ""5.30 AM on a weekend"""" well done:cuckoo:

[Marcel]

Thanks for the comments everyone :)
I'm hoping to go back again this weekend.

I just *love* autumn for photos.

5:30 am? Dead easy on a weekend when its a photography mission.
My wife has to drag me out of bed at 8:30 during the week to get me to take the kids to school :D

Marcel ... you must stop all that heavy breathing lark when youre in bed at night ... then your windows will remain clear! :lol:

I like them all, as these kind of pics really appeal to me (love trees).
Liking the last two the most ... def worth getting up early for! :thumbs:

These are all lovely, really like 6 the light is amazing.

[Marcel]

Thanks you two :thumbs:

A quick word. I replaced a couple of the images (mainly the last two in here I think), as they were initially quite green and too saturated. I decided to revert back to the initial WB that the 30D decided on when shooting, and reuploaded them, so a forced refresh in your browser might be needed to reload the correct versions.

Wow. It's hard to decide... between 1,4 and 6... I would like it to be 1, but for some reason, it's not quite there... number 4 feels like too much foreground........ number 6 is great except there's lacking some central subject............................

Sorry, i'm a bit drunk on wine and beer right now... :D not making much sense...

[kamion]

on second thoughts, saturate the green on number 6 a bit and put it on the TPF calendar thread. :D

[Forbiddenbiker]

lovely spread Marcel...can't decide which I like most, number 6, the last one I think...even though its not as vivid as the others its somehow wins in capturing the mood type thing....I see the light itself as the subject on that one, nice comp I think.

I have taken wood shots and always hate them afterwards so you have done well to come up with some pleasing shots. Last one is my fav. :thumbs:

[Marcel]

Thanks very much you three :)

I did try a saturated version of them (by changing the colour balance), they came out very green, but unfortunately looked really unnatural. :(

It's the light that I like on them all. And I think number 6 is one of my faves, the only problem I have with it, is that it's quite 'busy'.
