Light Within

Sometimes you have to be in the right place at the right time in order to receive the gifts the photography gods are sending you. Such was the case today, for me at least.

Light seemed to emanate from within the copse as I walked towards it. The sensation of warmth on a cold day was visceral. My lens was set to focus closer when I looked through the viewfinder and I almost pressed the button to autofocus. Fiddling a bit with focal length, aperture and focus, I found the sweet spot.
