Leaves (2021)

— (film nerd alert!) This is a slightly different perspective of the rather glowing #gotland forest I showed earlier. Here I used the wide-angle 40mm Distagon which, if you're used to 35mm/full-frame cameras, corresponds to about 25mm horizontally.

 

To really spice things up, I shot from a very low position to focus the attention on the immediate foreground. This combined with the fairly low light levels meant that I could shoot wide open at f/4 to throw the rest of the image into that glorious out of focus land people like to call #bokeh.

 

The film this time was Fujifilm Provia 100f which is an emulsion I really love. In the 90s I used to shoot Velvia 50 and push it one stop to get really saturated colours. But working today in a wholly hybrid workflow I prefer to leave the colour correction to the computer. Provia 100f gives plenty of colour to work with without going overboard on the saturation front. That well-known post-processing adage, that it is always easier to add than to remove, holds true. (/film nerd alert)
