Tall Trees in Breakheart
Although it’s a mere 12 miles from Boston, the forest protected by Breakheart Reservation is lush and resplendent in late summer green. Once again, I am relishing my new-found photographic toy; HDR, or High Dynamic Range processing. This file wants to be printed LARGE and TALL! My D300 was mounted on a Manfrotto tripod. Five bracketed exposures were triggered with a Nikon MC-20, an accessory I bought years go to use with an N90S body. Amazing, that it hasn’t been obsoleted!
A lake with fallen trees, or one dammed up by beavers, may offer interesting shapes and patterns to place in your composition. In this photograph I used a little fill from the built-in flash on my Nikon D200 to bring out the detail in the fallen branch.
