Difficult. There is so little of it to manage in a redwood grove.

But tons of contrast...even on overcast days. When I was silver printing, I would only photograph on overcast (high fog) days. One of the driving forces behind teaching myself carbon printing was to be able to photograph the light I was experiencing on sunny days under the redwoods.

Yes, this rain forest of big trees was on a deeply overcast day.

Yet the scene contrast makes it look sunny.

A situation where an uncoated lens can be useful. Alas, my Schneider 110mm and Type 55 film didn't help the situation.

All it needs is the wet smell of the rainforest!

Now that's practical advise.

Thank you
