I've been shooting the landscape of Redwood Regional Park every month or so, using a variety of extension tubes, fixed macro lenses, and one steady kit lens. All of this was in aid of a photo compilation idea I had since earlier this year.
My original goal with this piece was to create a snapshot of just the big giants that live a short drive from where I live. Whenever I would go, sure, they were there, impressive as always. But, it was the sweet, dense, thriving life all around the trees that really caught my attention.
Think of this video as a mediation piece. You will see how the seasons changed the surrounding leaves. You will see how the lighting through the year warmed, going from colder blues to soft oranges. You will also hear the actual sounds of the redwood forest, which I captured using an H2 Zoom.
I'm happy with the results. It has been a long time coming, collecting these different perspectives over a 10 month period. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did collecting and editing.
