Light through the canopy · 12:31 PM

A shot of some trees as the light shines through the canopy just softly enough to capture shadows without going totally black.

Great Shot JMR... How did you get up so high?? and what lens? JIMBO

JMR · 11-05-2008, 01:13 PM

Thanks Jimbo. I was in the Hills driving. I came upon this ditch area and noticed this backlit scene. There were too many trees and a fence in the area, so I zoomed in a bit and lined the sun up behind one of the trees. Only worked because it was hazy light. The lens was 16-45, shot about 45 or so.

surreal - the pixels have really become your canvas.

The soft lighting effect is amazing.
If you hadn't of driven that road on that day at that time ... it would have been an opportunity misssed.

MRRiley · 11-06-2008, 08:31 AM

I'll say it again.... I really like what you are doing with these!

JMR · 11-06-2008, 03:39 PM

As we all know, light is everything and can transform the mundane into something special. Thank you all for your feedback.

Now that is a truly fine capture. No question. Soft, yet compelling. What else needs to be said that has not been stated already??

JMR hits the nail on the head - the light can do some amazing things!

Regards,
Marc
