Shadows

I had been walking in another mountain trail looking for some wild nature ; May be flower or even bigger creatures for my nature works. After one and a half hours walk I was disappointed for I could not have any and the light is getting late. I think it was a bad idea walking alone ; No flowers , no everything but greens.
This scene was like a savior . A stroke of light had leaked through the trees and oh ! Shadows. I was like a lucky old man who had won the lottery and for me, this is better than anything.
I should be very careful ; Lock the light right ; Composed it right coz the light will not gave me a second chance ! I switched my ISO from 2000 back to 800, using a f 11 at a speed of 1/100 ..... Ready ..... and shot !
Return back to my camping site and was nearly 19:00.

Like a conductor of an orchestra you handled your camera the same way.
Your shot turned out very nice, shade and light are engaged to be married.

It is a lovely one Hamery and worth waiting for. I think the later time of day gives the better and softer long shadows so your long wait was right!!! Your description is an added pleasure. V
