Canopy Road

I shot this on film this morning on my way to drop off the roll. This was the last shot. I was driving through this road with a canopy of moss-covered oaks and the light beckoned me to pull over and shoot the last couple of shots on the roll.

[Vicki K]

Gawd that looks so real, just like a photo...err hang on that is a photo, bloody brilliant:)

[Sandra K.]

It's a good thing you pulled over to get this shot. Amazing!

[Michelle Blackford]

@veekay is right...so pretty you want to think it's almost not real! Amazing!!!

[Kim]

Love it! And love that you shot it with FILM! :) What a beautiful spot to discover. Great job!

[Zuzana]

I remember when I saw these first time ever in FL. They are incredibly cool and so is your shot. Amazing!

[C and LJ]

Ahhh, the Spanish moss, Live Oak, or whatever they called is when I lived there. Never saw it until I moved there. Reminds me of the area by the Ribault Club, near Ft. George by my old place.

[bardejov]

you've cought that morning glow in moss wonderfully.

@cluvlj Chris, the photo above was taken on Amelia Island just south of the airport. But this photo was taken within 300 yards of the Ribault Club: http://365project.org/hamptanner/365/2012-01-28

@hamptanner I liked that image when I saw it the other day. When I went there one day, and the old Plantation, I think I got about 1,000 insect bites on my legs alone. Perhaps I wasn't prepared. Ahhh... us transplants!

[C and LJ]

@hamptanner by the way, I have some awesome pics of that Chapel by the Ribault Club. The light was perfect at that moment. Must find that file! (Note to self, scour August 209 files!)

[HampTanner]

@cluvlj True about the insect. We were out there for about 20 minutes in the late afternoon and we felt so itchy when we got home, we both took baths before dinner.

[limpet365]

wow this is amazing - and stunning on film too.

[Diane Owens]

This is just beautiful! What film camera did you use for this shot?

[HampTanner]

@adventuregal @peterdegraaff @cmc1200 @tamalita @stiggle @flagged @lindenswhite @berni @sabrinaromahn @adobewaters @limpet365 Thank you so much! @eudora Diane, I am using a Canon EOS Rebel G 35mm film camera that my mom handed down to me since she no longer uses it. It is great because all of my Canon lenses work with it. I have only shot two rolls with it so I am still learning how it interprets exposure so I can get what I want out of it and rely on its internal meter to some extent.

[John K]

I agree with all the comments. This is an amazing scene, and this photo would look good hanging on a wall it is that good.

[Barbora Stredova]
