Someone remembered to take their camera with them to work this morning - this was taken at Lucy's Gully which lies on the edge of the Egmont/Taranaki National Park. There was a rather hasty, brisk Southerly blowing as well, so I was very thankful that I was wearing fur lined underwear while in the shade.
I was also playing with a "new to me" fisheye lens which I think will take some getting used to, but I like this shot quite a lot and that's the main thing I guess!
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
I've tried this PoV with trees many times but I could never get it to work - you've managed it beautifully... but who are you kidding that the reason you wear fur-lined underwear is to keep warm.
Super capture!I I love the lines but my favorite part is the lighting! I love how the leaves seem to just glow! A fav! I didn't get why Richard was commenting on fur lined underwear....but then I read your whole comment section. LOL!
@vignouse Thank you very much, always appreciated...and it may be because I like the warm plush cushioning, but I'll never admit to that! @carokennedy Thank you very much @livvy Thanks, there are so many of these trees in this part of the park it was a tough choice on which ones to go for! @harbie Thanks very much...not sure about that man... ;)
Really like this shot. It shows the magnificence of the trees, but somehow softens the how thing by having the stunning lighting at the top. What does the fish-eye lens do?
Impressive! Very well Done!
The more I look at this picture thinking about your photos of fire, the more I see trees as a fuel! Please, Dont think about it :)
@daneau thanks very much - I wouldn't dream of it, even it would be spectacular! @teejay14 thanks so much - I really wasn't sure of what I was doing, having shied away from "landscapes" but I'm really pleased with the result
Love this, especially the light. Will have to find out about this fish eye lens. Couldn't face the day without my morning fix of the comments your work produces! Fav
@ceilidh thanks very much - I think mine is more of a wide angle lens, but I've had a few practice runs with it and there's definite "curvature" depending on where the subject is @newbank thanks very much, quite pleased with it too - seems odd to be outdoors though...
@newbank I could learn to live with it ;) @neatz thanks very much, the sun had just topped a nearby ridge @andrewkru thanks very much @wearing0 thank you, appreciated as always @taffy Thanks, it's going to take a bit of practice but I'll persevere @golftragic thank you very much :) @creativefool thank you muchly kind lady @andreajoy thank you very much :)
@lynnilou thanks very much - I have no idea where Ted has gone...concerning @crescentmoon86 thank you very much @chippy1402 thanks, they're big anyway but it makes them look enormous
Fav. Wonderful shot of deep Forrest and bright sunlight. The lens really enhances this. And, fur lined underwear ? It's pretty nice here in Washington.
oh how beautiful - looking up at that would have sent a rush of joy right through me - and your image has captured it beautiful - I am smiling - your words made me smile too - fav
@carokennedy Thank you very much
