how do you take decent photos innawoods?

I'd like to be proficient at it but it's hard to "see the trees for the forest." you mostly end up taking landscape or nature photos.

Find a good angle that's complemented by the light at that time of the day. You can get good textures in ground and barks, some highlights showing through leafs that sort of thing?

>how do you take decent photos innawoods?
Welp, you go there and take photos, not that snapshit you got all over the thread.
Basic math tip: the more shit you'll have in your cameras field of view - the less possible it is to get a decent result of a photo.
>>
>>3070917
That sounds like you're suggesting I should just go and take a bunch of macro shots. I use a 35mm lens because it is the truest representation of photography. No gimmicks

bumping for forest photos and advice

This board sucks. You think people would be like, hey I've got some favorite forest photos or I know a good blog but instead I've got some faggot talking about shooting in good light like he doesn't know what the definition of photography is and some other retard telling me about bark like anybody fucking likes pictures of bark.

>>3071996

with the pics you posted the backgrounds do a poor job of complementing the subject, and i don't think the subject is that great to begin with. it takes a lot of effort to compose something nicely in a forest. i feel like you're thinking in the right direction but you need to try harder with different kinds of perspective, and learn how to restrict your field of view to only have what you want

Okay if I am in the woods, I am not photgraphing the woods itself. What I am doing is poking around for interesting things in the woods, or when the light has a certain effect, such as light beams, in dust, smoke, or light mist.
The woods are for finding things. Like these little scenes.

Woods can be tricky. Sometimes it's about the smallest things, and sometimes it's about seeing the bigger picture.

It can be hard to do both, especially if you have to constantly swith lenses, so I usually focus on one aspect for each trip. This way I can stick to one lens and be ready to catch whatever I can.

Try to see mundane things as something else. Treat "dead" objects like living for a while. Make a portrait out of a rock. Or a shroom. Even if the results might look like snapshits and someone says it's trash, you have at least changed perspectives for a bit.

I fucking love shooting stuff innawoods. The single thing I've learned is that it's bloody hard to separate a subject without doing the wide open depth-of-field cliche. Try to remove everything that's not part of your composition.

As an example, this picture is near focused (the ground is angled up and away) so that many of the pine needles aren't in focus, and the sides are distracting. The roots have a pleasing shape which in combination of the needles that are in focus made this the sole keeper of its roll. (posted previously in either a RPT or a /fgt/.)

OP here, thanks for all the help but it seems like you guys kind of missed the point.

I was asking about photos of forests. I get that people are trying to be helpful but what I'm seeing is a) photos with subjects that aren't "forest" and b) photos that aren't any good.

dandelions and portraits, etc.

boring subject desu and the light sucks too but that is not your fault. wait for evening light and maybe pack some aluminium foil or whatever to light up your plants.

Finding something worth shooting isn't easy. I self impose odd rules or make a game of it, k owing the images will be bin-worthy 99% of the time if you just take a stroll in the woods.

i've made a few lightroom presets based off replichrome, and for those particular shots i used exposure bracketing and luminosity masks. not much else

As opposed to photographs?

Zoom with your feet, dipshit. Lean in. Get closer. I've taken portraits of trees that people beg to hang on their walls.

Just taking a shot of "Herp it's trees, yo!" aint' gonna do shit, nigga.
