I shot quite a few "low level" images last time in the rain forest, as the sun was full (and 80 degrees!). These are not meant to be "beauty shots", but rather a compilation of species and to show the nature of the rain forest under the primary canopy.
It's always fun to see places, and it's something I enjoy when seeing all of your images of your country and its landscape.
I already showed one of the "forest floor" images in a previous post.
Highlighted Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla)
Tamron 70-210
Leprechauns
Oregon Oxalis (Oxalis oregonus)
Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla)
Bracken Fern (Pteridium aqualinum)
Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) in the background
Halide Moss (Isothecium myosoides)
Secret
Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) growing over old Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)
Vine Maple (Acer circinatum Pursh) sub-crown under the primary canopy
Morning Sun on Fir Stump
Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) Roots Taking Hold in Decomposing Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Stump
Western Hemlock (Tusga heterophylla) in Creek Bed
Sword Ferns (Polystichum munitum) on rock walls
Deer Ferns (Blechnum spicant)
Maidenhair Ferns (Adiantum pentadactylon)
Twisted Stalk (Streptopus lanceolatus)
Canadian Ground-Dogwood (Cornus canadensis) on Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata)
Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) Climax Forest
Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum)
Alaska Yellow Cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) and Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) in Spray Zone of Creek Bed
Red Alder (Alnus rubra)
Mountain Hemlocks (Tsuga mertensiana) and Pacific Silver Fir (Abies amabilis) in Spray Zone

Bob and Attila: Thank you very much, I appreciate the comments. These were more to just show the terrain and species, but I'll take any compliment I can get! 
Some of the images are not even "processed" - the ones without "frames" are just RAW or primary JPG images that I haven't worked on.

Bob, the Wikipedia indicates there is some similar temperate rain forest existing in very small areas on the northwest Scottish coastal areas. Have you seen them?

Attila, it's in the publisher's hands, and they've asked me not to circulate final copies until they give final approval for the book.
However, if you would like I could send or post some manuscript drafts, if you don't mind viewing non-edited versions.

Thank you poilu! There are several that I've posted before, but wanted to show the terrain with examples.

It is BEAUTIFUL weather today, at 80 degrees and very low humidity. I am sitting in front of the computer with only shorts on! I can't do much, however, as my arm is painful from therapy this morning.
But, I DID mow the lawn with one hand, and did some weeding in the garden! And, I'm going to make a cheesecake. So...I can do SOME things!
Would anyone like to see some Alpine terrain examples, sort of on the same format of this "forest floor and sub-canopy" thread? It looks like I am having time on my hands today...

I probably have Larry but never classed them as being temperate rain forest - more like temperate woodland.
According to Wikipedia, what is classified as British National Vegetation Classification community W11 qualifies as temperate rain forest:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_NVC_community_W11
The main tree for this particular community is the silver birch which I wouldn't immediately have associated with a rain forest. Highland Perthshire has vast tracts of deciduous trees including oak and birch but isn't on the west coast so I'm unsure if this area could be considered rain forest. I'm no botanist so would have to do some additional species research to specifically locate the rain forest areas in question. |

Thanks all you folks! It's still a long shot to actually get published, especially in these troubled economic times.
In January, the book was in the Top10 of the editors' personal lists, but they have cut that down to Top5, and I think I am number 5. So, don't know exactly what that means.
Even if it doesn't work out, that's okay, because it is great fun to write about things I love!

I want to thank all of you for the GREAT encouragement you've given me. As you know, I think we all have "doubts" about our own personal work...guess it's the old "we are our own critics" syndrome. Thanks to you, my confidence is growing, though I know that my modest work can't compare to someone who has been doing this a long time.
Frankly, I haven't ever really gotten any complimentary statements from the several fellow photographers I've been associated with, and have photographed with, these past couple of years.
My wife even noticed that, "Larry, you give these three photographer guys a lot of praise and also a lot of personal opinions on what could be better. But they don't ever seem to give you anything in return. What is with that?"
And, of course, there is not answer I could give to that. However, my wife said, "I hate to say this Larry, but I think they don't WANT your work to be "adequate".
So, I started listening to what she said, and unfortunately I DO see what she is talking about...very disapppointing.
So, when I get praise and encouragement from a body like this forum, it lets me know that I could possibly be "as good as the next guy". I appreciate that; it's difficult to critique our own work, for sure.

not only you are our hero photographer but we also appreciate you as a nice person.
you are also lucky to get nice advice from your wife, behind every great man it's often a great woman

Frankly, I haven't ever really gotten any complimentary statements from the several fellow photographers I've been associated with, and have photographed with, these past couple of years.
My wife even noticed that, "Larry, you give these three photographer guys a lot of praise and also a lot of personal opinions on what could be better. But they don't ever seem to give you anything in return. What is with that?"
And, of course, there is not answer I could give to that. However, my wife said, "I hate to say this Larry, but I think they don't WANT your work to be "adequate".
So, I started listening to what she said, and unfortunately I DO see what she is talking about...very disapppointing. |
Otherwise known as "jealousy" my friend.... |

I look at it this way: If the book does NOT take hold with the publisher, I'll go to web-based self-publishing and provide books for all of you who might want one, and we can just divide up the cost. For instance on icantbepublished.com, it is about $80.00 to make up to 20 "books"...which would be about $4.00 each.
This is in exchange for being very good people.

OK Laurence.. why is your computer wearing shorts? I think this is taking the American cultural aberration of modesty a step too far? lol
Seriously great shots.. I now feel obliged to head out for some Oregonian rain forest and show you that our trees are not to be upstaged (though my pictures probably will be!)

It is BEAUTIFUL weather today, at 80 degrees and very low humidity. I am sitting in front of the computer with only shorts on! I can't do much, however, as my arm is painful from therapy this morning.
But, I DID mow the lawn with one hand, and did some weeding in the garden! And, I'm going to make a cheesecake. So...I can do SOME things!
Would anyone like to see some Alpine terrain examples, sort of on the same format of this "forest floor and sub-canopy" thread? It looks like I am having time on my hands today...
