Windswept Spanish Moss

[Kevin L]

Attended a wedding last weekend for close family friends. I was told to tag along with the wedding party as they went to the rehearsal cause the grounds had ample photo opportunities. I did not have a lot of time but managed to get a couple of the Spanish Moss swaying in the wind on the hundreds of years old oak trees in Charleston SC.

Good to see Kevin. The second is my preferred shot but to me it’s too dark, i’d boost the shadows a bit, you’re loosing a lot of detail as it is. I don’t think it needs a huge amount, just sufficient to bring the detail back.

Seems a bit on thee dark side - perhaps a few stops the other way!

Thank you both for mentioning this, funny I did boost the shadows guess just not enough. Will need go back tinker with that.

Second for me too. Think a bit of a lift of exposure and more of a lift of shadows would make the image look better. But your choice.

Revision is definitely better.

I've often seen this stuff in movies and on TV but never knew what it was called - thanks for clearing that up.
