Description Taken near to Arapuni Dam, in the Waikato, north Island, New Zealand, on the way to work one morning.
I changed the shot settings to tunsten to get the effect, the beams of light etc are exactly as captured, the only alteration was the tungsten colouration and then I flipped the photo horizontally as I found the beams direction more pleasing to the eye.

To everyone that favourites any of my work, please accept in advance my sincere thanks for doing so. For those that comment on this or any other photograph, you will always recieve a reply. Demands on my time may mean a delay on occassions in responding, but I will always reply. Thank you for visiting this page, the support of all visitors is truly appreciated. Simon

I have a hard time believing this is actually the sunlight...
You've done a great job aiming right not to saturate the captor.
Great shot !

It's almost like moonlight, either that or a mother ship is landing in the woods and we'd all better start running!

Great light and atmosphere here, and I think the way you decided to process it works well. The tungsten white balance almost makes it look like it was taken in moonlight.

Nice work, I have had a couple of chances to shoot this sort of image, but I failed miserably. I think I may have missed one key component - tungsten. Thank you.
