Second Chance

Morning light filters through the remnants of morning fog in Golden Ears

Provincial Park. I entitled this image "Second Chance" as the forest is

second growth. Remnants of the huge trees that once grew here can be

found throughout the area. Perhaps now that this area is protected parkland

these trees will grow to maturity so that future generations can stand in awe

at their size and beauty. Only a stones throw away outside of the park

boundary similar trees of this size are being "harvested" once again.

Great light, with side light in the foreground fading to fog in the background.  Yes, with luck future generations will see big trees here, but unfortunately it will require a few hundred years.  In the meantime, these trees will face the challenges of fire, wind, insects, disease, and the secondary effects of global warming.

I love this. Beautiful light, color and composition. A picture any photographer would be proud to capture. Well done!

very well done.i know it is difficult to shoot in this light.I have tried but every thing just looks green. any pointers?thanks Cal

Excelent! Great bright colors in front, fog in the background. Really great picture.

Hey Cal,

No special techniques here just really great light to work with. The light was diffused from all of the fog in the area. To the right there is a clearing and the sun was starting to burn the fog away. That extra bit of sun gave the image the depth I needed, but not so much that it was difficult to expose for. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for your comments, much appreciated.
