The wise woods

Feeling the loss of someone great, who I never really got to know and wish I had. These woods feel like a wise place to contemplate the quiet cycle of life, growth and eventual death. Spring will arrive with its delicate hope after the mourning.

Wells Foggy Morning Landscapes - October 2019

Another of my favourite foggy misty mornings. The first bright and cold morning of the year.
Bishops palace fields in Wells have beautiful specimen trees, these were good practice for landscape especially as they are well laid out.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 low key, cool colour edited in lightroom

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 please with the detail on the grass and soft silhouette of the central trees.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 high key soft silhouettes

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 low key - love this old dark horror look.

Happy with the softness of this shot. 50mm

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 the mist creates a back light for the silhouettes to stand out.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 - liked this shot enough to try three ways

 Canon 50mm lens warm colour filter in lightroom

 Canon 50mm lens f/18

 Canon 50mm lens f/22

Canon 24 - 100 lens f/22 - taken the following week with a different lens with higher f stop.

Canon 24 - 100 lens f/22 - I liked the landscape shots of the first set but wish I'd had a wider lens with me. Preferred the 50 mm lens but with the lack of mist there weren't the silhouettes created in the trees.
