Pine Forest blur

[Cheryl Slechta]

I took this the same evening I took the long exposure I posted earlier this week. They had done a controlled burn so the trunks of the pine trees were black. Instead of panning up I panned down so I got the bottom of the trunks and the ground below.
f/16, 1 sec., ISO 100, EV-.3

Thanks for looking. C&C welcome.

Complimentary colors and a softness that I love. Beautiful and very pleasingly calm to me. I love the texture created here Cheryl, Nice work.

I like the mod and the pleasingly blurred effect. Where did the purple trunks come from?

[Cheryl Slechta]

Thanks Denise and Artie (hope you had a great trip!) The purple are actually burned trunks from a prescribed burn in that part of the forest. The lower parts of the trunks were burned which is why I decided to pan down. I didn't change any of the colors, they just turn out that way.

Thanks Cheryl. Those trunks look lilac colored. The trip was great. I am posting something in pretty much each critique forum and will try to do a short blog post tonight on the trip. There will be a full report on the trip in the next Bulletin probably WED.

Artie, I don't know why they look lavender but the pines always do. And these had charred trunks - go figure. Maybe I should be doing something in pp?

[Arthur Morris]

I wouldn't do a thing. I like the flowery look.

Very lovely blur, Cheryl. Love the colors, softness, and texture. I wouldn't change a thing. :)
