These are two more images from last Sunday morning’s walk in Jacobsburg State Park (PA). Very early in our walk along the Henry’s Woods Trail, we hit an area where every tree trunk was covered by either lush, bright green moss or scaly, lighter green lichens. I couldn’t resist the photo opportunity so I took a series of shots using a vertical pan technique (shutter speeds of 1.0 to 1.6 seconds) to create in-camera motion blur in my images.
Here are a couple of examples processed with Nik plug-ins (Dfine, Viveza, Sharpener Pro). Hope you enjoy them and are able to share in the vision.
As always, thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a happy and prosperous New Year. And keep on shooting.
I really like the green and the streaked colors.
Wishing you a happy and safe New Year to you and yours!
Interesting colours that makes this trees look almost like shining with fluorescent greens. I like the first image for kind of haunted look and the second one for nice difference between two green shades.
Love these, Ed. Just a note to suggest that you get as much separation between the trunks as possible and not to have any cut off by the edge of your frame. I can see you’re having fun with your new Nik software! Have a great 2010. I’ll be heading out for a few days and wanted to stop by. Blessings!
These are lovely. The colors are stunning and the panning worked really well.
How do you like Viveza? I’ve considered trying it.
