better left unsaid

This isn’t your typ­i­cal autumn photo in that there’s no fiery colours. It was taken at the height of leaf change but you can’t tell. Once again, the fil­tered autumn light pro­vides for stun­ning light below the canopy and in this case it was right place, right time for me. The sun was just break­ing through an open­ing in the canopy as I was com­ing up to this amaz­ing tree and rock. All I had to do was put my tri­pod and cam­era down, com­pose and trip the shut­ter. The angle was easy, the roots and rocks filled the frame and the del­i­cate light was perfect.

It’s one of those shots I keep com­ing back to, laugh­ing at my amaz­ing luck at com­ing across it.
