Sing along with me to the tune of “April in Paris.” April in Ceres, Shadows and Sunshine… Are you there yet?

I ‘rediscovered’ this photo while putting a new photo book together. The title of the book is: “IN THE FOREST: Light and Shadows Revealed.” I was searching for a nice image of trees, light and shadows to pair with another when I remembered this photo that I took in the beginning of April.
When I looked at the image again, I saw it in a new light. I remember that day in the forest. I was off the trail, working my way toward one of the lakes when this photo presented itself to me. I think I got the tonal relationships just right this time. The image works well in the photo book. I hope you enjoy it too.
My sparse notes tell me this photo was shot on Ilford FP4+ film in my Nikon F3HP. Lens? I don’t remember but my notes say lots of 24mm.
The tonal quality is great. There is a lot of good light and shadow and the contrast is very interesting.
I love the quality of the light here. The forest is my favorite place to be, especially when combined with the mountains.
Love it. The lights and shadows are captured beautifully…
Very good photography, especially I like the light tones.
Regards!
You nailed it. Sharp with great tones. The texture of the pine bark with the shadows are excellent. I wonder how this area will fare with our unwelcome visitor.
As others have mentions, nice tonal range in the shot.
a lovely moment captured and remembered.
I think you’ve done a fantastic job, the spirit of the forest, the light filtering through, the framing which is so very difficult in a forest! Great work again!
I love the light, and the textureof the trunk on the right.
this has very nice texture.
Excellent shot! I love the tonal details and the texture of the trees!
