A Straight Path Through the Apple Orchard
Sunlight leaks through the branches, landing right on the vanishing point at the center of the path.
✍️ This one relies on exactly where the flare sits — locked onto the vanishing point, or the composition falls apart. Spelling out the camera settings in such detail is really just a reminder to keep the flare under control.

Photography — Orchard Aisle in Apple Season
A long row of apple trees, leaves turning yellow, lines both sides of the aisle; crates sit among scattered fallen apples while sun flares through the branches overhead. Palette: apple red, olive, straw, warm white. Light falls dappled across crunchy grass texture. Composition: vanishing point held at centre; bright flare at top-centre carves out the negative space. Shot at 24mm, f/4, ISO 200, 1/500s, with lens hood and controlled flare.
