It’s always a great time to get into the woods at Autumn, the sun casts its rays across rather than from above and dying back of the woodland creates that spooky feeling, perfect for Halloween. Gnarled trunks heavy moss and thick creeping vines make for some very inviting textures and a nice changes from the colour palette down at the beach where I do most of my work. These sorts of images also pose different challenges in post-production, heavy shadows, greens and browns require a whole other set of adjustments to get the best out of each.
I took a number of these pictures using an old Canon FD nifty fifty lens with a MFT converter making for an equivalent 100mm focal length and a very short depth of field wide open.
It was fun visiting the woods for a change, but the beach is calling…
