A friend had suggested that we go to Antrim for a walk along the six mile water path one day with our cameras to see what we could get, Nature Wise.
So we turned up at the car park, got all of our gear packed and ready in our bags. We headed up the path, filled with colourful trees and nice scenes all around us yet none of these really caught our attention, we took some pictures of course but none really stood out.
The weather was beautiful, the sun was so bright but not great for pictures because there was no interest in the sky to add atmosphere to the picture, just bright blue. So as we walked on round there was a lovely river flowing parallel to the path. We thought why not try and get a nice long exposure with the harsh current flowing away from us as a nice foreground then it will lead the eye through the image up the trees which were arched over the river.
As we walked on we heard this loud flowing of water, so of course we headed straight towards it and there it was a very little but beautiful waterfall if you could even call it a waterfall.
Filled with lots of colour and detail. I really like this image because it very simplistic.
It was getting later in the afternoon so we decided to head back to the car, walking back we passed these very uniform looking trees but that wasn’t what captured our attention it was the way the light was hitting the leaves and protruding through the gaps. I don’t have the image anymore but there was almost like a yellow\green hue on the left hand side of the leaves that made it look like the trees were almost leaning forward.
We arrived back at the car, I was putting my gear in the back, I closed the door and looked up and seen this leaf sitting on the roof, now keep in mind my car is black but the way the light was hitting the roof made it look white and created a perfect reflection. I could not pass up this opportunity to get such a simple picture but of the whole days shooting this was my favourite picture and still is one of my favourite pictures to this day.
