Tunnel of Gold I
Halnaker tree tunnel, West Sussex
It was a fairly productive Saturday last week as after shooting the West Pier and Shoreham 'Hot Pipe' I decided to stop off at the Halnaker Tree Tunnel to see if if was wearing it's autumn coat. Most years I seem to be there too early and then the frosts come along before I can get down there so I decided to try it later this year and as we've not had any frosts to speak of it was looking quite good. Sun was a little bright which I like for the dappled effect but have just tried out a new editing function in the 2023 version of ON1 which has helped me slightly balance the light.
As well as the 'Honeypot' view from the gate looking down the track I decided to move further up the track and shoot towards the gate (due mainly to the seemingly endless line of people coming into shot just as the previous lot cleared my shot).
I did try to focus stack but there was too much leaf movement so I took one of the shots focused closer in and accept some softness. As I have tried a bit of a painterly effect on the edit I didn't think that mattered.
Thanks for viewing and will try to catch up with commenting on others images asap.
