C A L M - C H A O S - a photo on Flickriver

            C A L M - C H A O S

📍 Luxulyan Valley

Woodland scenes are notoriously tricky to photograph due to the chaotic tangle of overlapping trunks and branches baked into a two dimensional image. This scene is a little chaotic, but for me, there's also a calmness to it. 

Taken from Luxulyan's Velvet Path, the faintest touch of mist knocks back the trees on the other side of the valley, while the closer trees jostle for attention.  

Sometimes I get drawn into "shooting the light" without a strong subject (and those shots are usually binned). Here though, I felt that the two trees to the front were just about strong enough, together with the orange leaves which almost appear to be floating.

Canon 6D MkII | 24-105mm lens at 55mm | ƒ/5.6 | 1/8 sec | ISO 400 | Tripod | Polarising filter | Lightroom & Photoshop | Taken at Luxulyan Valley on 11-02-2023
