Lurking in the woods

Lurking in the woods · **1 Like**

A friend invited me down to the woods one night with his super bright caving torch to try and produce some spooky shots. This was my best shot of this night (not perfect but I'm still pretty pleased with the result).

Interesting shot.

Yip, as Paul said, interesting, and I like it. Maybe a little cropping on both sides but more on the right, try it and see what it looks like.
Keep playing around and let's see more images in the future.

I like it, but I'm a bit confused about the lighting of the trees on the viewer's left side of the image. They seem to be lit by something off to the left, as well as a bit of rim lighting from the torch. Is there a large white building out of sight?
Thanks for sharing.

Very nice - cool effect.

many thanks for comments :-)

Jford - Well spotted. A friend was light painting some of the trees from the left hand side. No white buildings though, it was in the middle of the woods with no buildings/light sources around.
