Swing in the Woods
-
Back from a trip to Germany today and just been sorting out my shots, spend a day at a horse expo and went for alot of walks so have hundreds of shots, but I had my favorites picked out on the flight home. This was my first process when I got home.
While walking in the woods in the hills I spotted this, and it gave me a shiver, now in reality is actually very nice and friendly, but in my minds eye I seen creepy, Blair Witch type imagery and I spent a while getting the shot and lighting right. Took about 30 minutes waiting to get the sun to come out and light up the clearing just right.
I used a polarizing filter to dim the colors in the original but when i converted to b&w using Silver Efex Pro I just found it gave it the atmosphere I wanted.1/30, f9.5, ISO100 50mm
Enjoy!
Feedback always appreciated.

If the swing was actually swinging in the shot with no one on it that would have added to it IMO.
showed it to a friend of mine, he said all it was missing was a red ball :)
