A short but sweet exploration of the forest in early morning. The extreme dynamic range isn't even apparent in the resulting video because it was so easily controlled!
Every shot has both clipped highlights and lifted shadows, sometimes by many stops (such as the closeup of the chestnut tree bark).
Watch in 4k!

Amazing story here.
the story continues...
on valentine's day the latest handful of chestnuts comes out of the refrigerator to start growing more trees!
i'll make a video about it.
there's a playlist on my channel called "the american chestnut" with more information about what's happening with my labour of love!
