This tree fascinates me the way it grows... it's sideways and the branches are new trees?
​
Because of the tree canopy, there is low lighting within the Redwoods.  Used Rich, the human tripod, to hold a speedlight with very small softbox.  He did a lot of hiding behind trees with arms outstretched.

Natural lighting, though was fighting with the steam a bit.  The steam gave a nice natural diffusion to the image though.

Being driven around to capture beautiful scenery, the conversation never ceasing with the lovely, Lizzie Marvelly and Rich from Destination Rotorua.  An afternoon to remember.
