Both are very nice but that first one has a witchy, intriguing thing going on - I think it must be under water? Love the deep saturated colors and waviness! I wonder if your second might be a beech tree of some kind? Water in any form certainly brings out the beauty of wood - unless of course its on one's hardwood flooring. Great thread and I look forward to it growing over time.
not underwater BB, but certainly in a very wet wood ... neither is the sharpest, down not to focus but very dim light and thus overly long exposures (IS doesn't rescue everything !) ... must get a Noctilux
Two of the first pictures taken with my then new 45mm, f/2.8 Leica Elmarit m4/3 lens all the way back on 23rd March 2010, about 100 metres from my cottage. Panasonic G1 with 45mm, f/2.8 Elmarit, iso 200, 1/80 sec @ f/4 Panasonic G1 with 45mm, f/2.8 Elmarit, iso 200, 1/60 sec @ f/4 Barrie
Beautiful light in that one Traam! Which camera were you using here and did you add the light source? Dave both you and Pictor/Christian have given us very different views. I am guessing the burn could be from a natural fire source, but Christian yours seems to show the violence that man has inflicted. Thanks to all for this thread.
This was on the LX5, light source is a stream of sunlight shining through the leaves above. I can't remember exactly what I did but if I recall correctly I emphasised the sunlit area by stopping down while keeping the shutter speed constant, so it looks like a studio shot with a dark background.
I had sort of envisaged that this thread would attract colour images, interesting that it is attracting a surprising amount of b&w ... here's a bit of colour from me though ... View attachment 32313 E-p2, 17mm pancake, 1/20s, f/3.5, ISO200
Christian, the weather must have finally changed! Wonderful to see you and this many layered picture!
