Evening Forest Scene

Magnificent late evening light bathes this forest scene in a soft glow.

This image was made around the Lake Gunn area.

Slightly higher resolution available here.

As per the norm, would love to hear your thoughts.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
8s f/16.0 at 40.0mm iso100

Regards,
Humayun

Nice one H – it has that old masters oil painting quality to it, especially the hi res version!

Cheers

Dennis

Another beauty Humayun. Although not a misty image, it has a misty moist 'feel' to it...feels like a unicorn might walk through the scene, or some of the fairies from Shakespear's A Mid Summer Nights Dream might suddenly appear then drift back into the coming forest evening looking for a warm dry place to bunker down for the night.

When I worked as a fire assayer standing in front of 1000+ degree furnaces as big as refrigerators, I had a poster of a rainforest scene on the wall.
It was my safe place to go when it all got too much in hell.

This is a perfect "safe place" to meditate on, peaceful, as old as the world yet full of life.
The only downside is that it's not desktop size.

Lovely work again Humayun.

Dude! You are really getting around! You are making me feel guilty and lazy!

Keep up the good work mate. We don't get better by marveling over our camera in the corner of the room do we now?

A lovely picture Humayun

The shades and hues of different greens are wonderful.

I keep staring at it waiting for a Hobbit to walk by.

Dennis,

Wow, I'm glad you picked that up. That's exactly what I see. I'm a big fan of neoclassical painting and I think it's slowly starting to come across in my work.

David,

Cheers! That's a good idea. But, I think I might have other images worthy of that title. I suck when it comes to naming my images!

Chris,

Thanks for the compliment.

Unfortunately, that's the worst type of lens you could possibly use (apart from fisheye) for portrait photography, due to the barrel distortion of wide-angled lenses; it makes people look funny (think of big noses and elongated features). It's not that noticeable when you do landscapes, and, if it is noticeable, you can use the native software to correct for the distortion.

Kerrie,

Thank you so much! I'm so pleased that you can note the moist look to the image. It was quite cold and wet there and I think I may have had the slightest amount of condensation build up on my lens which has added to the effect.

Justin,

Thanks for the kind words.

Send me a private message with your email address and I'll forward you a 1280x853 resolution image. I'm deliberately posting low resolution images as I intend to print and sell my work, in the form of both a book and/or posters. I know I'm a nobody, but, everyone has to start somewhere.

Barry,

I wish I didn't have to work and could do this all the time! Cheers!

Ric,

Thank you, sir.

A hobbit or a unicorn. Both would be ideal. Or, as Kerrie suggested, faeries.
