A walk in the Forest.

A very nice collection from the the forest Rosa. Both PiPs look fine to me. The light in those situations can be very tricky, I would certainly be happy enough with the results.

Thank you for your very kind comments Doug. I was getting annoyed with the camera on the first PiP....or maybe myself ;-))

All the best, Rosa.

★彡 Good work. Have a lovely week 彡★

Thank you June. You too.

Lovely one Rosa!
It’s so beautiful today in the woods... Mushrooms are also coming again!

Greetz, Christien.

Thank you Christien. Yes it will be nice to pick the mushrooms again.
Take care. Greetz, Rosa.

The last days of summer ! Very beautiful, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich. Starting to feel very autumnal now.

A lovely series of various greens ad dappled shades. The first PiP has a gorgeous bokeh!

Thank you Gudrun. It's strange, but I would probably have liked the first PiP more if someone else had taken it. Maybe too critical of my own picture.

Beautiful light and colours; like the secong PiP most.

Thank you Jaap. I think I do too.

Marvelous, Rosa, we just have to breathe the good air in this forest !!!!

Thank you Marie-claire. Oh yes, a few hours in the forest does the world of good.

I really like the main image Rosa.........the light coming through the canopy is beautiful and there are some nice dappled shadows.

I like the bokeh in the first PiP.......maybe you had trouble focusing because the light was too strong or the contrast between the subject and the background wasn't high enough. Getting closer and using manual focus would have helped I think, and maybe using a wider aperture.

I like the second PiP too. The light on the leaves is lovely.

Pleased you like the main shot Keith. I think you are right about the problems with the first PiP. I should have tried the shot from the opposite angle! I did try manual focus but as I don't use that much I wasn't getting good results. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but I got fed up and moved on. The second PiP is more to my liking as well.

Many thanks for your input and kind comments. Always appreciated.

I like he bokeh in the first PIP very much, whlist the second PP lacks the jewelled effect of the first. The main picture is very good too ~) That is my two pennys worth

Your two pennys worth is very welcome Nick, thank you :~)

beautiful forest road

Thank you Annemarie.

j'aime beaucoup mon amie c'est la fin de l'été malheureusement !
bisous Rosa ! et bonne soirée

Merci beaucoup chère Angélique.
Bonsoir

A very beautiful path among the tree... It must have been a nice walking at the end of the Summer...Now is Autumn... I like the first PiP very much!!
Have a nice Atumn!

Warm greetings
Füsun

Thank you very much Füsun. Yes it was lovely on a warm day.
It feels more like autumn today. I must return to the forest for the autumn colours.

Kind regards,
Rosa.

Yes wy not

Why not indeed Fred.

A symphony in green, Rosa. I love the way the branches frame the path, and I love the play between light and shadow. Looks like a lovely place to go for a stroll. Cheers, Joe

A lovely description Joe, thank you. I must return to this forest when the leaves start to develop their autumn colours. Cheers, Rosa.

Très belles photos nature. Nicole.

Thank you for your kind comment Nicole.

Beautiful dappled light and lovely colours in very nice series of images Rosa, great walking area and the trees are still green, went out yesterday to almost bare trees and lots of fallen leaves.

Thank you Roger. Not many signs of autumn in the forest yet, but I will return!

Magnificent series! Stay well!

Thank you very much William.
Take care and have a good day.

Wonderful, Rosa!
You have captured the path veering gently left as an excellent counterpoint to the branches veering right and the light between them meshes everything together beautifully anchored by the perfectly positioned upright trunks!
The PiPs ain't half bad either!

Thank you very much for your lovely description Andy.

A lovely place to walk on a sunny day, it will be nice in a few weeks as Autumn approaches, I know that type of bokeh is very popular but I don't like it when it picks up so many light sources to me it doesn't make the subject stand out it just confuses things, but of course that is just a personal preference. Regarding focus if you don't want to use manual my thoughts if it wouldn't focus move off the subject focus on some thing else settle down then try, you will have various focus option I tend to use centre spot, can you lock the focus by half pressing the shutter release and holding it while you compose the image before taking it. This focus refusing to lock on to the subject tends to happen when there is a big difference in light, the same thing happens with the moon

I have never taken autumn pictures in this particular forest Peter, but I will this year.
I felt it was too much bokeh. I had hoped it would be gentler, but the strong sunlight was shining through, so I should have guessed. On aperture mode, it kept almost focusing and I tried to lock it but no luck there. Thank you for your helpful tips and kind comments.

Es el mismo bosque verde del paseo con Sophie y Luna. El PiP-1 si tiene mucho bokeh, pero no desmerece, queda bien y ahora está valorado. Quizá te hubiese ayudado el AF servo único y el modo de enfoque de punto único, porque la superficie pequeña del sujeto contra tanto fondo podía perder enfoque del sujeto o con muchos puntos tomarlos de otro, a nada que movieras la cámara al disparo. Las hojas al trasluz muy bien.

I had hoped to focus better on the autumn leaf Jose, but gave up in the end. I will bear in mind all the useful tips. I have a little note book I take with me when out with the camera. I think I had better write them in there. The forest is around the tower in the previous picture. It's about 8 miles away. Thank you for your help and kind comments.

A great walk Rosa and I see as usual that your observation of nature is on full alert! Yes the leaves are turning already. this weekends winds may hurry that on too.

Cheers, Herb

Thank you Herb. I hope the winds aren't too strong!
Cheers, Rosa.

A lovely forest series, Rosa. Bokeh is very much a matter of personal preference. Some people like it 'creamy', at the other extreme is 'swirlly' and there are people buy vintage lenses for just that! Keith and Peter have given some good hints, but essentially (for a given lens) bokeh varies with distance and aperture. I don't know Nikons, but I would think you should be able to leave your exposure on aperture priority while setting the focus manually (in this case on the leaf ).

Thank you for your kind comments George. I am taking note of everything that is said. I think I had better take a look at the camera handbook again. I know what you mean about bokeh. It is definitely too strong in my picture and the leaf is not sharp enough. I had better get some practice in!

Must be a very calm forest

It was lovely on that day Ernest.
Perfect on a hot day.

Yu must have had a a very nice walk in such a beautiful forest, dear Rosa!
Non technical advice from me, sorry, I'm not good at it!
But I can tell you that even though there may be too much bokeh in the first pip, the three images make a delightful series...you feel you are in the forest, with its light, green shades and even smells!
Take care, dear friend.

It was lovely on such a warm day Adele. I see some people messing about with their settings and missing a good picture...but I would like to know a bit more for close-up shots. You have no need to worry as your photos are brilliant!
Take care dear Adele and have a good evening.

It must be a lovely place to walk Rosa, cool and shady beneath the canopy of branches with that beautiful sunlight filtering through the leaves. An excellent series and I must admit I rather like the first PiP. The effect of the light that seems to burst with little pops of colour is very attractive.

Have a good weekend

If you ever come to Stourhead, you must make that extra little journey to this forest Carol. It's all around Alfred's Tower and has some beautiful walks. Thank you so much for your very kind comments. Take care and have a good weekend.

Very welcome additions to he group Rosa

Thank you posting your image in the group

Thank you Roger.

OH SO BEAUTIFUL

Thank you Pam.

I like the first Pip : With these fuzzy leaves in the background that play with the light, like little stars!
That said, beautiful forest series!!!!!!*****

Thank you Nouchet. It was the perfect day to walk in the forest.
Now I am waiting for the leaves to turn to their autumn colours.
Wish you a good and sunny weekend.

Thank you for sharing on Waldwege Group.

Thank you very much.
