The next morning the redwood forest was under a layer of coastal fog that never completely lifted. This created soft, muted tones without the extreme darks and lights as experienced the previous day. I noticed that many photos from this day highlighted the tall trunks. The first three photos below are variations on one scene.
With the photo above I was experimenting with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement). Many images don’t work out when doing this. I felt that this one did. The next image, below, is the same scene.
The fog thinned just enough to allow rays of light to filter through the misty air. What a surprise! What a magical mood it created! Unfortunately, it didn’t last long and I wasn’t prepared with a composition. The shot below was the best I could do in the moment. However, on the following day, I had these same conditions for the entire time in the forest. Stay tuned…
To view the complete collection, go to “Into the Redwood Forest.”

Wonderful work, Lawrence. It created a sudden “I’d like to be there” feeling, but after calming down I could enjoy the portraits of those trees even more
