DON’T FORGET: 16:9 IMAGE SHAPE
You can change the shape of the image from the standard 3:2
rectangle to 1:1 square or for woodland scenes the 16:9 panoramic.
From dappled sunlight down woodland tracks,
backlit leaves against a bright sun, abstract
patterns of leaves on the floor to close-ups of
interesting bark and fungi, woods and forests
are superb places to go exploring with your
NX. You can head out on bright, sunny days
for more vibrant colours or on grey, overcast
days for softer tones, the choice is yours.
Look for boardwalks snaking through trunks,
small streams and babbling brooks that can
take the eye on a journey through the scene.
Remember to look all around for potential
snaps, including pointing the camera up at the
canopy using a wide-angle to capture trees
reaching for the skies. You can use friends and
family in your scenes to add scale and a spot
of colour too. And let’s not forget swathes of
bluebells carpeting a woodland floor.
Woods and forests are magical places with something
new around every corner to excite and inspire
THE WOODS
Woodlands and forests are
superb places to try out
shooting in black & white;
use the Classic Picture
Wizard option.
Why not make a collection of woodland artifacts that you can take
home to shoot a still life image on another day.
