Beneath a falling tree

Beneath a falling tree
This is a bracketed seven shot HDR that I took with my Olympus EP-1 around a dozen years ago. I used the open source QTPFSGUI to tonemap it and finished it in Gimp. After taking this picture I realised I was standing under a tree that had fallen and was being held up by just a few small branches above me. I learned to take more care in the woods that day...

It looks like a living forest for sure Chris. HDR excels with this kind of scene. Very well seen and captured. Great job!

Best Wishes. Herb

Thank you Herb. I used to spend a lot of time doing HDR and shooting into the sun back in those days. It took ages to set up the tripod, bracket the shots and then process them. The phone in my pocket does it all in seconds now.

Thank you aNNa. It is a magical wood with lot of history. It's under a lot of pressure from nearby villages, which is a great shame. Happy New Year!

Es una imagen bonita de naturaleza con el suelo de líquenes y hojas, donde habrá un micro mundo de animalitos que forman parte de la cadena trófica. Me gusta el filtrado de la luz.

It feels like being in a magical forest, where you'd expect to see Bilbo the Hobbit, and maybe a few fairies too...

Thank you Christa. I used to wonder around here with my dog taking loads of pictures. I felt the magic too and there was some interesting things to discover.

What other bombs do you have in store? The mystical spirit of the forest pervades everything. I love that soft light through the branches and mossy surfaces. Every time I think of the word forest, this image will come to my mind. Sure.
And as I say, a real bombshell.

Thank you Anton for such a kind comment. I have been taking pictures for 30 odd years so I'm glad to say that I've got a few pictures that I'm pleased with. I've however got thousands that I'm not pleased with. I'm an opportunist rather than a planner!
