Autumn Sunlight through the Trees

I was sort of reading some CiC articles/howto on the use of UWA yesterday and would like to ask you how low you went to get this shot...this is a good example for me to emulate wen the sun comes up this Sunday...I really love this image and love the original better though the second one would have been nicer if the flare was not added but only a starburst, what do you think...? A flare is a little bit too much but the colour you chose is nice..

Izzie, working with ultra wide in landscape is fun, if a little challenging. In this case I'm sure you noted the river is flowing away from and not towards me. From memory I was perched on a couple of rocks about 6 to 12 inches above the level of the water at bottom left. The camera was hand held using the EVF (no articulated screen on the Df) and I was crouched pretty much as low as possible (with out doing myself a mischief). So that makes the camera position about 3 or 4 feet above the level of the water.

As regards flare/no flare. I wanted to capture the scene with fairly deep shade on the woodland floor interrupted by light patches of sunlight. It seemed more 'authentic' to include the sun rather than obscure it but it was best to cheat to achieve a clean image (as per Rachel's comments). I'm not a fan of star bursts.

Many thanks for your input and good luck with your UWA exploits. I look forward to seeing some.
