Forest mornings

Forest mornings

Out early this morning to watch the sun rise through the fog in a pine plantation at Mt Burr – Limestone Coast South Australia.

Certainly worth the cold to see the beauty as the sun tried to force its way into the forest.

Natures strength showing the small re-growth forcing its way up amidst the towering trees.

Canon 400D 18 – 55 with ND4 filter. Processed in Photoshop CS3.

  • Steve Chapple replied

    This is the original, no blue effect in this as I had different white balance on the day and no polarsiing filter as in the other one. A little sepia added thats all.
