Post your woodland scenes!

[Ian Grant]

Not sure which of the last two I like better. Both are excellent and very different from each other.

Thanks Stephen, they are from a set I made at the location which is near Ironbridge a World heritage site, I made a small hand-made book of the images unfortunately it was stolen. I did find a discarded broken tile put it back together and photographed it on a white background so that was the cover, the chimney and ivy was the last image, like a full stop.

I like both of the Ladywood Tile Works photos.
With respect to the first one though, I can't stop myself from seeing a really large Q-Tip!

Oxymoron, both of three Technically the site is in Broseley famous in the early days of the Industrial Revolution for it's white clay pipes which were exported particularly to the colonies in North America, they died out in the early 1900's. The chimney is maybe a quarter mile a walk from the Tile works, but then the site is also listed as a mine, but the entrances are levels that's following the seam where it outcrops rather than sinking a shaft, the area is sandstone, then the white clay, which is above the pink clay used for tiles, it's the edge of a coal field so sometimes there's a coal layer between the layers of clay.

Very nice! Though you described the pic as detail of wall, I like how you have used the trees on the right hand side to go along with the wall.

Thank you Raghu, the trees show how nature always takes back its place...

St. Croix Railroad south of Hudson, Wisconsin (just east of the Twin Cities). However, it appears that it may be closed to the public until further notice.

A couple from a recent walk in the Coast Range of Oregon. After years of shooting in the more open spaces of Southern California, I'm trying to get the hang of the denser forests up here; it's easy to get too much stuff in the frame and end up with no effective subject.

Nettar 518/16 (the lens is a Novar, I think 75/4.5), TX at 800, HC-110, printed on MGFB Classic at grade 1 1/2.

I learned early on from a book on photography in elementary school that the best way to make photographs interesting is to move in to only have those things in the field of view where the objects of interest.

Even Kodak's little pamphlets for consumers on how to get better photos with their cameras and film had "get close" as one of their big rules. Always seemed odd to me, from a company that (in my early experience) most made cameras that wouldn't let you get closer than about five feet and stay sharp...

Therein lies the challenge with woodland scenes.

I visited a friend a few years back who moved to Maine. I'm a Southern California guy, we don't have woodlands. Coastal Maine is all trees. Ridiculously beautiful, lush, summer green... and damned near impossible to make photographically interesting for me. I asked my buddy, who'd lived there a decade, and he had the same issue. It's one of the reasons I'm always looking at this thread, just to see how people with good eyes approach it.

@ntenny You're doing good work. I love the river scene. Keep trying, keep posting. That area is just so beautiful and weird.

Ah yes, true that ...

I think it depends:
