The Forest's Energy

Gallery: LandscapePosted May 7, 2010372 views21 comments

This is a closed forest Between Miramar and Mar del Sur in Argentina just next to the Ocean.

Locals say the forest has some mysterious energy, that there is a magnetic anomaly on the spot and that the place has been studied by scientists around the world.
I'm not so sure...

But trying to depict the "energy" of the place I struggled to find a composition until I tried the old-fashioned zooming while exposing trick. After several attempts I liked this result.

Canon 5DII + 24-105 at 24mm

Large version available

Thanks for the feedback!

You NAILED this - after reading about the background of the place. The description enhances the photo, and vice versa.

Really like how you conceived and developed the shot to bring out the "energy" for us all to see.

Excellent, Luis. Not sure where the blue and the green come from, but they certainly work will with this image. Very creative.
