Series of Four #6 – Perspective at the forest floor

Series of Four

This is the sixth Blog in the “Series of Four” series. Each blog focuses on a different aspect of photography, either technical or creative.  To see the full set of “Series of Four” blogs, click here.

Perspective at the forest floor

What would a walk in the forest for a four-inch photographer look like?  Changing the perspective can open up a whole different world.  Lighting can be a challenge.

All of these were shot in the woodlands of the North Downs in Surrey, England which are within a mile of where I live except the bottom right image which was shot near Fresvik in Norway.

 

 

Photo trip to Norway

A spectacular place

Last week (5-11 September 2011) I was very privileged to travel to Norway with my daughter and son for 5 days of exploring the fjords and taking a few pictures.  We stayed in the village of Fresvik on the Sognefjord.  As the summer season had ended, there were very few people around and those that were, were taking time out before the cold dark months. 

Norway is a spectacular country, well worth a visit – especially if you can get there from London for the grand total of £18 return fare!

Images

Here is a selection of the images.  One of the striking things about Norway is the colour, especially the greens and the glacier blues.  The colours in the images are real (apart from the black and white images)!  The images have been processed in Lightroom with minimal enhancement, especially of colour saturation.
