This image was photographed
in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park
when walking through the woods on a rainy day. I used
the Mamiya RZ-67 with the Mamiya Sekor 140mm Macro lens to
expose this scene on Kodak Portra 160 VC negative film.
The camera was tripod mounted and the exposure was made with
the mirror locked up. The light was softened by my being under a canopy of trees
and it being an over cast day enabling the film to capture the
intermediate tones much better than had it been a sunny day
in the open. This small vignette offers a look into a
world that we often fail to notice but one which holds
intricate and ever changing beauty. |
