All Trees

Nikon D80, ISO 100, f8, 1/60 sec, 105mm efl, Capture NX2

The afternoon sun was catching the tops of these trees on the side of the Ashley Gorge, bringing out so many shades of green, yellow, brown and orange. Sometimes this sort of scene doesn't translate to a photograph, but this looks wonderful as an A3+ print with a beautifully 'layered' three dimensional effect.

Path to ...

Nikon D80, ISO 100, f8, 1/45 sec, 66mm efl, Capture NX2

Printed up large, this picture is full of detail that has my eyes running back and forth but there seems to be an eeriness; the path leads up but the tree roots seem to be creeping down. Or perhaps it's just me.

Autumn reflections

Nikon D80, ISO 100, f8, 1/125 sec, 42mm efl, Hand-held, Capture NX2

The cloud and the blue sky reflected in the water caught my eye and the random flecks of autumn leaves amongst the rocks made a random abstract pattern. Printed up large, there is plenty of detail to keep the viewer involved in the picture - eyes hopping from rock to rock, just as my feet did.

Temptress
