A Woodland Adventure In 50mm [Original Photography]

over 4 years ago

Hi all

Today I tried something a bit different. The family and I took a walk to the local woods but I only took the camera with the Canon 50mm 1.8 lens on it. I love the "nifty fifty" and it certainly made a change from the usual carrying around of a load of gear to just carrying a rather light and limited setup. It makes you think quite a lot about composition as you can't zoom in or out. With less to think about in terms of zoom, I spent more time chasing the light.

The lighting today was harsh. The sun was low and bright but it cut through the woods in some places giving a really lovely spotlight effect which was especially noticeable on the many silver birch trees.

I love the woods. It's always a challenge as everything is so chaotic. Compositions are hard to find so im pretty happy with how these came out.

Thanks for looking

Mark
