Down the Rabbit Hole

Today I decided to skip out on the sunset, I thought it was going to be fairly rough... large dark clouds lining a good portion of the horizon, but before I made that call I was up on the parkway checking out the various scenes... Scouting locations for photos, and helping a friend learn about photography. He pointed out this scene as we drove by, and I was obliged to stop, I've been hunting sunrays a lot lately, and this scene struck me. So I grabbed the gear and began pacing the guard rail looking for compositions, lens in one hand, camera in the other, tripod awkwardly sprawling out between my already full hands. It was then I decided to go for a slight framing with the foreground trees rather than trying to shoot around or over them. This is the result, an inviting valley in light and shadow, deep down into the rabbit hole, wont you join us Alice?

 

ISO: 160

A 5 exposure bracket in gusting wind... it's a miracle the foreground trees aren't blurs.
