Foggy Eucalyptus Forest

Foggy Eucalyptus Forest · 03:18 AM

This is shot with A 50mm f1.2 wide open. No bokeh. Grampians of victoria, Australia.

Very nice, James. I like the colours and mood created by the fog...looks like a painting.

J.Scott · 01-04-2009, 06:05 AM

That's awesome, James. I love the somber mood you have created.

Very nice capture. Since you shot this at f/1.2, I'm just curious where you decided to focus, infinity, or something in the foreground? I just got a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and think I'd like to try something like this.

I would agree something very calming about the shot yet intriguing as if waiting for something to appear from the mist and fog. Well done.

You have outdone yourself this time. Fabulous shot. What is that in the top right, rain drops on the lens? If you open up the shadows and try to reduce the blackness as much as possible, it will not only look better but will be more printable.

Jimbo · 01-04-2009, 11:15 AM

Nice James. Love the feel of the shot!! JIM

Very nice! Great shot James - wonderful moodiness.

Well done, James. Brilliant colours, portrays a real mood.
Nice to see the Eucalypts shot, among all the brilliant snow shots from the Northern Winter

Great shot!
And appropriate lens. I think in some sense fogs are natures own way of having a short DOF. Do you understand what I mean?

Wonderful shot!. I love the colors.

At least it works to an extent. I thought about posting it as it was f1.2 on a landscape shot hand held

Not a technically right shot but it might be worthwile

That was exactly what I felt at the time. Storm with strong wind. Quite brave to bring my lens into the storm with this one

I focus to infinity only for the sack of avoiding diffuse light in that weather. The rain was coming down like cats and dogs. Branches were shaking violently. So wide aperture is easier to capture the mood that is pretty much rendered in the "light" area rather than on the foreground elements.
