Woods in Late Afternoon

Woods in Late Afternoon

Today, on a walk, I used my phonecam to try to capture the late afternoon sun as it hit the trees. This image gave the best sense of the sunlight behind the shadows, just out of reach. I decided to capitalize on the natural blurriness of the phonecam, so I adjusted highlights, midtones, and increased the saturation. I decided to take my cue from the impressionists, who didn't worry about crisp edges. After all, it was the gorgeous light that I was after in the first place.
