in search of dryads... by northy

in search of dryads...

i've found the best-est wooded area... now if only i could figure out how to photograph it ;p

srsly... lots of tangled roots and stuff... it's very cool... but none of the photos captured what i saw... none of them...

anyhoo... this is for the 5+2 theme... woods...

thank you for all the comments and favs on my penguin in the rain... :)
I know just what you mean.The woods and forests are such places of beauty and magic.So difficult to even begin to capture.You did a fabulous job with the pov and processing! Fav! I am finding I love using the lensbaby in the woods.The blur and distortion translates at least to the feeling I get in the woods!

Looks like a place where beneath the tree elves are busily making cookies.

I've had quite a bit of difficulty trying to get the perfect shot in my forest up north. Found the best way - wide angle - always aiming up. And, of course, the right light helps as well! ;)

@kass hmmmmm - the light may be part of it... Although this spot is pretty much buried in trees... I thought the light I had yesterday - late afternoon and overcast - was going to be as good as I could get... I might try going back earliesh tomorrow morning... Can't go crack

Sigh... Wasn't finished... Spurned iPhone... Can't go crack of dawn cause I've got to get a kid organized for camp... But yes... I've generally done better when I start w the light rather than the subject... Tx!

I have the same problem, love all the texture but can't quite get it. You did amazing!

Bring some blanket to lie down and shoot upwards-you'll definitely see lots of bokeh flying around:)

Oh, this one is fun… :-)
I’ve always had trouble geting what I see in the woods ‘onto film’.
Thanks @kass for giving me something to try out…!
