Oak tree burst
Hello all
This shot is really the result of a short attention span - I'd been out trying photograph brown hares again (not a species I've got to grips at all) and got tired of waiting. A good sunset was looking likely so I head for a favourite spot where I made this image from a pre-visualised idea.
It won't be to everyone's liking, but for me it keeps my photography heading on a creative course.

Canon 1Ds2
24-70 zoom
8 sec @ f4
ISO 100
Tripod

an interesting shot, always good to see something different. May I ask how you took this? Is it simply a case of zooming during the exposure or is it a Photoshop job?

Hi Matt
Sorry, should have said - it was an 'in camera' shot, I zoomed slowly during exposure. Cheers, Chris.

Hi Chris - I do like these sort of shots and this is no exception :wavey:

Maybe it could benefit from a bit of increased saturation in the blues :wink:
