16 Bracken Fern
Bracken Fernf/11, 1/13 sec, ISO 200, Canon 5D Mk IV, Canon 100-400 @400mmIt’s both the light and the gesture of the fern that makes this image interesting. Even though I was on a tripod and could, therefore, use a slow shutter speed, there was still a small amount of breeze that created some movement to the fern, which is why I increased the ISO to 200. Using a long lens helped isolate the fern from the background, which was otherwise quite busy. I made this image while walking on the Kepler track near Lake Manopouri. more
