Photographically, the result was initially unsatisfactory, as the fine detail in the bark is missing. The camera was loaded with a film unsuitable for the scene and lighting conditions: too high in contrast and too low in sensitivity for the harsh backlight in the dark forest. Leaning against a tree allowed for an exposure of 1/30 second with the aperture wide open. However, the shape of the tree trunks against the illuminated background was brought out, which was what I was actually after.
