Photo of the Week 2019-11-18

In wrapping up the series of images from my late October woodland outing here are a couple of images where I selected a tighter crop, either by using longer focal length or getting in closer to the subject scene. 

Sometimes it can be hard to see the trees for the forest, not just the other way around as the familiar adage goes. Keeping this (these) in mind while out in search of images gives the photographer yet another tool for the creative toolbox.

On this particular October morning, I was in awe of the the grander scene, the sunburst through the sparse fall canopy and my compositions were wider, including broader look at the scene. Having already made a good number of this type of exposure, I began looking for something different, recalling my original intent to develop my woodland photography further, push myself to another level, my vision began to narrow in.

I had made a commitment to be somewhere else and my magical time in this place was approaching it's end as I focused in on an area of the forest between two larger trees where the sun's rays were streaming in through the mist.

I'm quite pleased by the results, although these are quite different from others in the Foggy local woodland morning 2019-10-28 series.

I'd be very interested to hear anyone's thoughts, likes, dislikes and comments on any of the images in the series (click the link above to a Flickr album of the complete set). The November 4 post is the only image that had made it to this blog before this post and not everyone may want to go to Flickr, so I'll conclude this post with a collage showing all of the images ...
