    Thanks Nils! Yeah it was fun shooting a close-up scene in the last light.

  Nice, Jack! I really like the second and the fourth; there’s just something about aspen trunks. I’m thinking I might like the ant better with less saturation.

  I too spent a little time last week working on shooting forest scenes, in anticipation of fall. It’s always humbling for me, shooting under a tree canopy. The comps just come so easy above timberline or surrounded by cliffs, I’m totally spoiled.

    Thanks Jackson! Yeah, it’s certainly more difficult to create a unique forest photo, especially with aspens – which have been “shot” to death. Jesse Speer’s portfolio can certainly provide some creative inspiration particularly with unique forest scenes.

  The first shot is sooo cool- the light filtering through the resin on the log makes it really unique. The aspens might be “shot to death” but its always a pleasure to see them. Great link also, I wasn’t aware of Speer’s work.
