Treasures of the forest floor

I am as always behind with my blogs :) Winter is already here and i haven't post any pictures of the autumn. I haven't been much on the road for that. But I have visited the speulderforest which was already a long time on my lis. I went toe the leersumse veld also one of my favorite places. But not many fungus. In the speulder forest the other hand there were lots of them. The other thing was that I was less interested in them because it was booming on internet with all these pictures of them so I was trying to find other subjects and other challanges.

I seams already such a long time ago. The pictures have been taken in oktober and the beginning of november. I have been experimenting a bit with double exposure and bigger apurture just to try something different.

I loved the atmosphere like the trees were under water but the highlights are too much.

I love the darkness on the forest floor

Also the fragile ferns are very interesting subjects in autumn.

Autumn Memories

First of all the very best wishes to you all. I hope you had a great time with christmas and New Years evening with the ones you love. And that you may have lots dreams of inspirations for this year.

The past few weeks I didn't have any time or chance to take new pictures. The weather wasn't helping either. Rain, Rain and more rain was falling down. The whole garden is soaking. So that's why I jumped in my archive again. Too many pictures and it is time to sort them out. Last year was a really great year. I have seen nice places. For the first time I photographed toadstools and I really loved it.
And some of my pictures were placed in magazines. So a great year. See at the media page. And my first small exhibition is showing 15 photo's at the fysiotherapie bergstraat at Amersfoort till march. http://paintedbylight.blogspot.com/p/exposities.html

As ever I want to learn a lot in photography. That will never stop. So I hope to go out soon again with the camera. Till then I just show you some more shots from last year.

In the Autumn I went to the Posbank a beautiful place. The ferns were all dried out but still beautiful in the sunlight. It looks like they were glowing in gold.

And of course there were enough toadstools as well.

I also went to the Remmerden Heide near Rhenen. Early in the morning with the dew still on the toadstools.

I hope you enjoyed watching my autumn memories. See you next time.
