With the hope that some of the mist forecast overnight would linger in a local wood until sunrise, my alarm was set to get me up at 5am. Yeah... that didn't happen! The hope for mist was just that, hope. And with an overcast morning forecast I knew I the light would be pretty much unchanging for a few hours. So I had a lie-in until 6.30
I'm not a fan of "popping greens" in spring woodland photography - yet I've found it tricky to control. While I've been furloughed, I've been steadily learning more about colour grading. A YouTude video by Nemanja Sekulic helped me with the principles of colour grading to darken & desaturate Spring woodland images. A photo I'll post later is much more exaggerated than this one.
I'd be keen to hear what you think! Is it too much, or too little (or is it the third bowl of porridge?!) πππ
This composition takes the eye down the trunk of a fallen tree. The foreground has a smattering of bluebells for a splash of colour.
The ISO had to be dialled up to 400 to quicken the shutter and freeze the leaves moving in the wind. I used a polarising filter to reduce glare from the leaves. In post, I colour graded and desaturated.
