Schilling (United States) Wonderful scene and I like your composition with the line leading my eye from left to right and the large Black Oak and taller trees on the right hand side of the frame! This is a rare occurrence where the storm was cold enough to leave snow on the granite cliffs as the backdrop! A great scene!

I have not had much luck with this technique yet, and you inspire me! I like the POV you created by getting down low. Just a very lovely image and I do love redwoods - they are all around me where I live in the Oakland hills.

I have a friend in Simi Valley who will love it when I share it w/her.
Your lesson was read, copied and pasted into a document so I can use it as a lesson over and over.
Scott Schilling just helped me w/some of the settings for night shots - a good lesson for this 'old gal' ... yes, I could be your mother! :D

I'm glad you posted this. I am learning a lot. Technique in this particular case is important.

I love the low perspective to give emphasis to these magnificent trees. This makes me want to pop on my hiking boots and get out in the wilderness!

Want to share where this is? Looks so familiar. Nicely shot with the light coming through the trees.
