Description

In this premium video, Outdoor Photography Guide’s Tom Peters ventures into the woods in the United Kingdom to create visual stories. Among the trees, he encounters sunlight and shadows, warm and cool tones that create depth.

He finds a fallen log and two trees in the background, one with a forked branch. He calls each of these three elements, characters in a story. Tom concentrates on the wooded ground with snake-like branches cooling in misty sunlight, the sky peeking through in warm tones.

He photographs the chaotic forest floor framed by the two tall trees, all littered in a canopy of soft sunlight. Depth of field and where you focus are key elements in creating a visual story. Tom shot this story at f 9 to focus on the warmly lighted middle section, the light then falling off in the background.
