This should be a relatively easy question out there for the 'senior' photographers in the crowd.(posted 8191 days ago)I've been looking at a lot of forest images by various photographers, and it seems that a great many of them are fairly high key. I very much like these images, and I'd like to try some of my own. Can someone enlighten me as to how this is done?
I'm guessing that if the forest has a lot of green (as opposed to lighter colors in the Winter - no leaves), you would perhaps expose the shadows around zone IV, and use a green filter to lighten the green areas. I don't think that extra exposure alone was used, since the darker areas (such as the tree trunks) look somewhat realistic.
The one problem I have is that I don't have a plain green filter - I have a tri-color #58, which I don't think would be appropriate. Or would it?
Opinions, please.
