Sunday was a day of work, as I had much to do, however after hours of toiling away I decided to take a break in the late afternoon sunshine, getting the benefits of a fine autumn day and stroll along Parlington Lane, Aberford, Yorkshire, armed with my E30 Olympus Camera with a 12-60mm Zuiko lens. The lens is terrific, good range, ideal for general purpose usage and very very fast auto focus that rarely lets you down. The header picture says it all for me, lots of light coming into the woodland at a low angle, giving some really expressive imagery. After the initial picture some time has been spent in Aperture and Photoshop making the photograph more expressive and surreal.
Here is another well lit example!
Below is a detail view of the technique used to create the surreal pictures, the area enlarged is to the left of the trunk of the tree.
And Yet Another
Again, a detail view at 100% of the treatment to the image.
These really do make great prints, and despite all the earlier false dawns, I am nearing a point of offering a wide collection of exciting images, I hope to have them ready in time for Christmas, especially the snow scenes!
