The snow was fun while it lasted, but I don’t miss the cold
hands or the constant slipping; I’m glad to be a little warmer! I went for a
walk to the local harbour today, as I had some free time and wanted to get some
fresh air. Surprisingly, some of the leaves were still on the trees!
As I walked along the harbour, I noticed some lights were
left over from Christmas. They were draped along the entire row of trees, and
looking at it straight on, it looked like a path. I took the photo in this
position, to try and capture this effect. I did try to take the shot at a wider
angle to start with, but the surrounding buildings detracted from it. I used an
aperture of F5.6 so the lights would become less sharp as they got further away,
focusing attention on the foreground.
I adjusted the contrast and hue of the picture in Photoshop
to increase vibrancy. I also sharpened the image so each of the leaves could be
seen. I’m pleased with this image, although I’m a little disappointed that I
couldn’t include more of the surroundings.
