The weather is very settled. Unfortunately it is also heavily overcast during the day (nice and clear at night). Anyway, opportunities for photography are inevitably limited by the poor light.
I headed for some woodland at lunchtime.
Not the most inspiring scene, so I tried something slightly different.
This is the same scene. There are no filters, and the post-production has simply been some tweaks of the contrasts and white balance. It’s taken with a slow shutter, small aperture and is zoomed during the time the shutter is open. I quite like it, though it’s probably not to everyone’s taste.
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens.

11 Feb 2015Not bad at all. Looks like something from Blairwitch Project movie 😀
On the other hand, not too many people like that movie :left:

11 Feb 2015Darko, yes it does create quite a spooky or dreamlike effect. Several went very wrong, but the shape held up quite well on this one.

11 Feb 2015Robin, it’s something worth playing around with. The shutter speed was 1.3s. I was hand-holding which isn’t ideal. A tripod would help a lot as you could then concentrate on moving the zoom smoothly.
