A couple of Woodland Monos

OK this 1st shot was just outside the woodlands Might have to revist & shoot when the sun isn't so strong to the right :-



This one was in the woodland, but feel there is too much detail fighting for attention. Good practice for converting to Mono though



Thanks for looking

Re: A couple of Woodland Monos

Nice shots Dave. I like #1, and I think the relatively plain sky is the perfect backdrop. If the sky was any buisier it would take your eye away from the tree too much.

Agree with your comments re #2. It's always difficult to get this sort of woodland shot with just the right amount of detail. As you say, everything competes with each other.

Re: A couple of Woodland Monos

Shot number one takes the cake for me. As usual, I can't tell if its the image I love, or the mono work. "Cracking shot" as you fellows like to say.

Re: A couple of Woodland Monos

Well the old Sigma 10-20mm gives a good perspective on the 1st shot.....I do love that lens

#1 for me. The simplicity and tonal range. I'd be tempted to remove the cloud by the trunk tho' acknowledge that is being overly fussy maybe
#2, as you say, is a little 'busy'

Ref clouds I waited a couple of mins for them to move from over the top of the tree, but those others were there to stay. I'll go back on a day with no clouds

Re: A couple of Woodland Monos

number 1 is my favourite, the tree on its own evokes so many different feelings. and the way the light is catching it is just wonderful!

Re: A couple of Woodland Monos

You've certainly coped well with the harsh sunlight while keeping lots of detail in both shots, with no.1 being my favourite composition wise

#1 for me, I like the way the branch to (my) right seems to be reaching forward and giving real depth to the shot.

Re: A couple of Woodland Monos

Thanks for all your comments I think I'll just chuck away all my others lenses & just use the 10-20mm from now on
