I was going through my files tonight and came across these two shots from Olympic National Park in Washington. In certain areas of the park, the forests can be very lush — everything covered in a coat of moss and dripping with vegetation. In the first photo, I used a 35mm focal length which eliminates any sort of extreme distortion when it comes to straight lines. In the second shot, I used a wide 17mm lens which really distorts the lines of the trees, but also creates a nice effect and sense of scale.
When I was in WA I noticed that the forest areas looked very different than the forest areas on the east coastal areas. Your photos capture their special look very well,
especially the second one showing the unique vegetation and moss.

This may seem strange to say, but being from the area, the distortion photo on the bottom makes me feel like I am there. Whereas, the top does not.

Wow. Beautiful shots! I suddenly have the urge to climb a tree. That’s weird.
