Trees in the Sun 2 – Portal

This is the second post in this series of images I captured at Knapp’s Loch with a group of trees of such whitish bark. I liked the streakiness and the hints of the tree shadows along the ground.

I feel here the movement of the camera has created a generally gloomy outlook in the foreground. But the space in the trees gives some hope of a way through present troubles…..hopefully to a brighter future. Lets hope so!

(A second version is included below and the images were taken with a camera shutter speed of 1/6th second while panning upwards. The effect was increased in processing by sharpening absolutely as much as possible to emphasise those vertical streaks through the image.)

I’d be interested in your thoughts?
