Over the Christmas period we paid a brief visit to the in-laws in Scotland. While up there, it seemed like a great opportunity to test out the camera my wife gave me for Christmas and hopefully get a picture for the My Sunday Photo linky. With this in mind, I disappeared off into the lowlands for a couple of hours so I could get some landscape shots.
This particular image was of a small pine forest I stumbled across. It was the green of the foliage on the ground that caught my eye. When I moved around I was able to position the sun so that it flared brightly through the trees.
I understand I’m getting something of a reputation for providing the technical info so here goes; ISO was 800, aperture f16 and focal length 34mm. Some of you may find that useful!
I have linked this image to the #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the OneDad3Girls blog. If you’re into photography, do follow the link and take a look. It’s a great and lively linky.

A beautiful wintry scene. The light shining through is stunning.
That sun! A stunning photo =) #MySUndayPhoto
A beautiful photo – I love the sun flaring through the bare trees… Or twigs as my son calls them ;o)
wow, what a beautiful shot, I’m not yet technical enough with my camera!
Beautiful photo, I’ve never ventured to Scotland…one day maybe
Thank you for linking up
Nice shot, John. Hope you’re enjoying the new camera (and keep the geeky technical info coming …)
Cameras for Christmas are the best! This is a lovely shot 🙂
What a beautiful scene!
Love the sunshine through the trees, creates a very beautiful and dreamy scene x
Beautiful. I’ve lived in various parts of Scotland, mostly round the Highlands and Western Isles, and this just makes me want to go back there.
