[Study of Light, Day 1] In Black & White
Cycling along the forest trail in Leigh Woods, the trees to my left broke to reveal the tree canopy covering another rooted outcrop of the Avon Gorge. I wasn't consciously searching for or using light in this one; I was simply made aware of my position and direction relative to the gorge when I saw this, and took the shot as I liked the different depth of the many leaves.
[Study of Light, Day 1] Abstraction of Light
I was playing with the exposure and took a shot of the shadow of leaves cast on the tree by the low late afternoon sun. I then decided to experiment with different types of bark and leaf. I caught this shot as a gust of wind shook the leaves, so that they danced to and fro - a million hands waving - and I see the movement of the leaves in the shadows, swaying, yet attached to each branch, and so each moving in their own little circles.
