Trees in the Late Afternoon Sun - November 2011

Below are several images of trees. The camera was hand held, image stabilisation utilised and the lens set at wide angle ( 40 - 150 mm).


I had recently been studying Richard Muir's photographs, which acted as a spur to me. My images are below:



f/5.6; ISO 200; 1/50 second; focal length 43 mm.
This image does nothing. It has no vibrancy to it. It needs some light on the trees to enliven it; the composition is so-so. Maybe it could be improved by moving further away - or closer. a change of perspective would certainly help - maybe looking from the ground upwards.


f/11; ISO 200; 1/160 second; focal length 43 mm


f/16; ISO 200; 1/80 second; focal length 40 mm

f/16; ISO 200; 1/80 second; focal length 40 mm

The last 3 images are all taken with the sun behind me as the sky was reflecting a pink tinge in the clouds. The final image has been chosen for my folio of images, although the first of the 3 images came close as it showed the cloud colour better. However I believe the composition of the third image is better - simpler and more direct. This choice is discussed in another blog.
