Curvy roads between trees can create an amazing effect when using long lenses to photograph them. This is a ‘famous’ photo that raises many questions, mainly about the light in the background. This light is actually from a combination of 2 cards, 1 from headlights and one from tail lights. It’s not a fire and it’s no sunlight.

The end of Autumn when the last leaves are on the trees is a great time to check out the forest as you can spot many details on the last leaves on the farm trees.

Early morning in the beginning of Autumn with the early morning light blasting through the trees. The shrooms are a nice detail during this time of year. You can find them everywhere if you look for them.

Paths and roads that go into the distance look amazing with the right conditions. If you want to take photos like this, make sure to use a long lens (100mm+). This makes everything in the distance looks compressed.

When forests are in the fog during daytime you can take some beautiful shots, especially during Autumn!

The change into Autumn gives the trees all kinds of colours making it my favourite season to photograph the forests.

When it’s grey and foggy outside, try taking a stroll through the forest. The mist separates the trees creating a beautiful spooky atmosphere.

A road near my house changes every few days when the end of Autumn approaches. In the foreground trees there are still some red leaves that get hit by the sunlight every morning. The rest of the lane is nearly empty already.

Even during very grey and rainy weather the forests still have a very interesting atmosphere: dark and moody.

Even in summer when the forests are completely green everything still has a great atmosphere. I am always amazed at some distinctive shapes of trees I find.

The early morning soft light finds its way through the trees creating that magical atmosphere in the forest.

Combine late Autumn with a hazy sunny morning and you get very soft golden light making everything look gold as orange of the leaves get lit.

Roots of trees can be fascinating as they’re often not buried in the ground completely.

Some forests are planted. This doesn’t have to be ‘bad’ as they always look very interesting because all of the trees are lined up.

The best time for seeing and photographing sunrays are the early hazy cloudless sunny mornings. This combination makes it ideal for seeing them. In forests, mostly in dark parts the filtered light finds it’s way through the openings of the branches and leaves, making focused sunrays that look magical.

An early Autumn morning where the sunlight finds its way through the leaves giving a nice contrast between the lights and shadows.

The details of leaves on the trees are beautiful especially when there is great separation with the right light.

Fog separating the trees at the beginning of winter makes you see all of the shapes of the trees.

This is the end of Autumn and beginning of winter. The trees lose all of their leaves and you can view all kinds of crazy shapes when walking through the forest. Paths can really create a leading line when shooting photos.

Car roads with trees next to them can be a nice subject to shoot with long lenses. You can spot them everywhere around you, it doesn’t even have to be at a forest!

Different elements come together with fascinating tree branches creating pieces of art by itself.

Beautiful morning in the Dutch forest.
