On the end of the tunnel is light Photo

Photographer’s Note

Large forests can be found on the borders of the park, mostly coniferous and deciduous forests with few species such as Scots pine, common oak and silver birch. Some parts are monotonous Corsican pine forests. Mostly there are no shrubs to be found, and where there are any, they are often exotic species. In the field layer purple moor grass is predominant. In some places problems occur with competitive exotic species such as the black (American) cherry and the rhododendron. The policy plan strifes towards a structured forest, and to obtain this, measures are taken such as removing black cherry and rhododendron in favour of indigenous species. Another measure is thinning out the forest which opens up the forest canopy and promotes the spontaneous regeneration of the forest. To obtain a greater variety, mostly coniferous wood is taken out. The share of dead wood is also increased to obtain a greater natural value in the forests. Open areas are created in the forests in order to promote a greater biodiversity in the forests, open areas are created.

These measures should lead to a beautiful, structured forest, a rich under story and field layer, with open and more closed parts alternating, with old and young trees mixed.

Yes Another winter shot. There was snow in Kalmthout. Not so much but enough for me to made some atmosphere shots. The lighjt was absolute bad. This was a handheld shot and I hope you like it.

Goede avond, Jaap,

ik kan me zelfs niet meer herinneren dat het eind november had gesneeuwd. Mooi tunnelzicht en de sneeuw geeft de foto inderdaad nog meer allure.

groeten,

Luc.

Good composition.

Hoi Jaap,
De weinig sneeuw in de voorgrond bepaald de goede contrasten naar de donkere dennenbomen, het tunnel effect geeft op zich een mooie diepte wat de foto ten goede komt. Aangenaam om kijken, geeft rust en ik ruik de dennen bomen achter mijn desk.
Natuurlijk zijn de foto's met het brugje van een ander klasse, maar steeds bingo kan het niet zijn, maar ik voel mij goed bij deze.
groeten,
John.

Bonsoir Jaap
belle photo pleine d'espor puisque au bout du tunnel... il y a peut-être le beau temps avec le soleil ! Très belle ambiance et belle perspective
Bravo

Hi Jaap, A very moody shot with nice perspective view and with mystic mist in the distance to show the unknown in the front. I enjoy the depth and contrast created by the foreground snow in this picture. As always, I enjoy reading your notes.

chinchini (27591) 2006-01-10 15:01

Bonsoir Jaap,
Encore une très bonne photo. Le brouillard ajoute de la profondeur et du mystère à l'image.
Tu m'apprends qu'il y a des pins de CORSE plantés là. Je sais que les Allemands en ont beaucoup plantés, des pins lariccio, avec des semences qui avaient été récoltées à MURACCIOLE, un village que j'ai déjà posté sur TE.
Très intéressante ta note.
J'apprécie/Pierre

Hi jaap

Aptly titled. i like the diminishing linear perspective in this superb shot. The light is right at the vanishing point. Good sharpness & graphism. Congratulations!

Bonjour Jaap,
Un joli Chemin ou les côté de la fôrets est sombres
et ou notre regard est attirer vers cette lumiére au fond du tunnel, beau travail
Amitiés

Hi Jaap - this one lacks the spectacular light of your usual work, but the sombre woodsy atmosphere has its own particular charm.

Fixfocus (9377) 2006-01-11 13:26

Dag Jaap,
Het licht was hier zeker niet meer zo mooi,maar het is toch en goede compositie met en prachtige perspectief.De sneuw in de voorgrond is een mooi detail.

Bonsoir Jaap,
La Nature est un temple où de vivants piliers
Laissent parfois sortir de confuses paroles ;
L'homme y passe à travers des forêts de symboles
Qui l'observent avec des regards familiers.
[Charles Baudelaire]
J'admire votre talent photographique et les endroits pour les magnifier.
Amitiés.

Hi Jaap, I had somehow missed this one so far - perhaps due to the fact it has a less striking preview pic than many other of your photos. But that's not to say this is bad, I think you made a very commendable result and rendition of the mood on the bleak and overcast autumn day. I don't have many suggestions except maybe to emphasize the "light at the end of the tunnel" effect a little, you could have taken an angle that lets a little less brightness fall onto the scene from the top. In any case a nice subdued ambience here.

Jaap
This shot conveys a sense of fear and foreboding. It is well developed and dramatic. The soft image gives it great atmosphere. I love the shot, well done!

Hi Jaap. I like your use of symmetry and depth. If it were up to me I'd lighten the shadows a little to compensate for the overcast and sharpen it. Nice one Jaap.

Hello Jaap,
I like this picture with its original composition. The mood given by the perspective of these huge trees is very good.
A pity that the image is so noisy...
Regards. Christian

Luan (15935) 2006-01-18 10:25

Hello Jaap,
I like the way these huge trees covered all your picture, the DoF is impressive, this tree alley create a great perspective.
A very nice shot
