Sunlit woodlands

While walking around the Derwent reservoirs, my descent back to my car took me through some pine forest where the low winter sun was shining beneath the canopy illuminating the trunks of the trees.

I attempted two shots with the XA3, which didn’t turn out badly at all – I was expecting camera shake as, despite the sunlight, it was still quite dim beneath the canopy, and braced myself against trees to attempt to keep the camera steady. Luckily there is only perhaps minimal evidence of any shake.
