E N Y S - G L O O M - a photo on Flickriver

📍 Enys Woods 🌳🌳

I walked to Enys Woods from my home in Penryn - long lens attached with the hope of photographing some deer. It was before sunrise when I peered through the gloom into a farmer's field. I didn't realise straight away, but I was looking right at three fallow deer! The critters saw me though, and trotted off - never to be seen again! Well after sunrise, I admitted defeat and switched lenses for my usual landscape photography...

I've photographed this area of Enys Woods before - and in similar conditions. So, this time I decided to push my editing towards a really moody, desaturated style that I like in the work of other photographers, but haven't been brave enough to apply to my own shots so heavily!

By the time I took this photo, the rain was pouring down. I was wet. My lens cloth was damp and seemed to just smear the attached polarising instead of drying it. I was ankle deep in mud. I rushed the shot before packing my gear away. But... it turned out to be my favourite photo of the morning!

I liked this over my others, mainly as there's no bright sky in the frame which can be a distraction in woodland photography. Sky was eliminated by shooting into the woods (more depth of trees) and by using a longish focal length to compress the scene. Of course, I was originally drawn to the foreground tree. It frames the distant brighter area of the woods which draws the eye in.
