Woodland Series

This is a series of photographs that were taken this August at the pine tree wood near my parents house. I had always loved this place and held a special place in my heart... As you can imagine forests are magical places for a young child and you can't take that away from an adult easily:) So when my friend Pinelopi joined me for summer vacations, the outcome was obvious.... I would finally get the images I wanted in that place! No more crappy self portraits in the woods!

I used my Canon 500D with an extention and a HELIOS 44-2 58mm manual lens from an old Zenit. I really love the bokeh it produces!
