I have a fascination with trees, and that's taken up the bulk of my shooting lately. I don't see any threads devoted to tree photographs, so maybe this one will catch on :)

Here's some few from the past few weekends:

If you aren't familiar with it, you might find it interesting to hunt down a copy of The Tree, an extended essay by the English novelist John Fowles, who wrote The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, etc. The photography was done by Frank Horvat, who has some of the photos at www.horvatland.com

Fowles published a later edition of the book with photographs by William Neill: www.williamneill.com

Both editions are long out of print. Fowles's essay is wonderful.

I love Horvat's site too. The exhibition list is not entirely up to date. The Victoria and Albert Museum just ended a major exhibit called The Golden Age of Couture: 1947-57, which included important fashion photography from the era, including this image by Horvat: http://www.horvatland.com/pages/02mode/02jdm/06_en.htm His work has also been included in two previous V&A exhibits.

This is probably as good a time as any to say that I am a big fan of your own photographs.

Thank you Toyon.
It is a "normal" silver print.
I printed that image by placing vellum on top of the negative.
The light transfers the texture of the vellum onto the silver paper creating a sort of mezzotint effect.

That root system does cry out "photograph me!" LOL! How did you haul a big enough darkcloth out there to cover up the background?!

I took that shot about 10 years ago, but just came across the pt/pd print last night while I was doing some copy work...so I thought I'd throw it in the pile.

Was yours more recent? There was a couple initials carved into it back then -- probably a few more by now!

Getting that darkcloth in position was a huge task! Not really, It was raining and the background was mostly dark. What light that did show up was taken out in post processing.

Mine is from 2003 and there were some initials carved in the root ball, but I do not remember just how many there were.

Shore Acres is a beautiful area to photograph, or just to see for that matter.

Quaking aspen at Jordan Basin in the Eastern Sierra on snowy day early October 2007.
4x5 Provia 100F thru my 90mm Caltar.

Lots of nice work folks. I market quite a number of tree pics on my website gallery index. And many more just as strong on my "Upcoming" sub-page link like the recent one above that I haven't processed and printed yet. I explore and search for exceptional trees every year often in remote wilderness areas. This last summer I lugged 70+ pounds over 7,200 feet uphill over three days to reach one pair of foxtail pines I'd first seen years ago in 1994. Trees like water reflecting lakes, spectacular peaks, dusk/dawn/sunrise/sunsets, and wildflowers are a major subject category for landscape work. ...David

Trees, trees...
I believe people like trees for many reasons.
As I said in the previous post I have been thinking why I am so attracted to trees.
I believe that in a good work of art there has to be tension between two opposites and trees have that quality in themselves.
The trunk is the strong part of the tree, which provides stability, strength and support(together with the roots), the branches are the delicate part of the tree, the area that moves with the wind, prone to breakage, delicate in form and at the same time vital to the life of the tree itself.
Branches also challenge the trunk and the roots to get stronger by positioning themselves far from its axis, rendering it stronger.
The branches endlessly reach to the sky, the extension of the trunk, the roots, instead reach for depth.
These very different parts work all for the same purpose: the life of the whole.
Just like so different areas of the plant work for the same goal, so do the components of a piece of Art where tension is necessary to achieve balance.
The same is for our lives; we need all range of experiences, from joy to the necessary sorrow which is the spark to a deeper and more stable balance.

Burned trees in Griffith Park. I would have liked to stay longer and shoot more, but the rain was coming and I had to get moving! I hope to get back next weekend, I bet all this rain will help the new growth pop up from under the charred ground! No idea if the larger trees will survive or not.

Just fresh from the darkroom.
I am so pleased with this Heliar lens that my Petzval has reasons to be worried.:)
Of course I am not talking about sharpness, but how the Heliar "distributes" tonalities.
I am in awe of this lens, a class of its own,... true, not the sharpest and some minor problems at the edges that I want to investigate.

Nothing for you to apologize for - scanning Pt/Pd prints is a challenge. In these processes, the image is embedded in the fibers of the paper. Scanners seem to work better with silver prints where the image lies on the surface.

All right! It is a good idea to learn with a smaller neg. You can send me your 11x14 and I'll keep it from getting rusty until you want to start making bigger platinum prints (which unfortunately for me, won't be long, judging from your 4x5's!)

Wonderful feeling of light -- even on the computer screen.

Here is an image for your tree collection, just because you said you like trees. This image is not worthy of the forum's quality. It was raining when I took this shot. I'm surprised the image even came out this well. But this is one of the Titan redwoods of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Have your read about the titans in the book by Preston, The Wild Trees? Anyway, I decided to go and find them. Which I did. Grove of Titans that I found (http://www.mdvaden.com/grove_of_titans.shtml). That's my page about my hunt. Wish I could say where they are, but it needs to remain a secret. I'll be returning this month to camp, and maybe get much better photos. This tree below is not in the Grove of Titans, but is in the park as a co-champion for largest known redwood in the world. It's the Del Norte Titan. If anyone has not read The Wild Trees, go to my page link, scroll down, and find a link to one of the chapter from the book online at Orion's website... Looks like the forum software shrinks the images a bit - oh, well... Enjoy...

What sort of large format camera do you take with you on your adventures. I find hauling my 8x10 cross-country through the redwoods to be quite harlarious at times...seems like I spend more time hortizontal than vertical! LOL!

Since it is closer, I tend to stay down around Redwood National Park, but Jedediah certainly is a great place.

Vaughn

There ain't no way I'd have hauled a large format camera to these particular redwoods - just my small digital. That was just a sharing of a tree, since the initial post expressed enjoyment of trees. And this Titan is scarce on the internet as far as photos go. I wish I could share it's location so others could experiment, but that still does not eliminate the terrain difficulty.

In that park, Jedediah Smith Redwoods, I think that the Boy Scout Tree trail might offer a decent variety of tree specimens, where access is relatively easy-going.

In the autumn, there are some very interesting displays of sulfur shelf fungi that photographers might enjoy experimenting with. But you almost have to live near there, or drive there monthly to get the right weather at the right time.

There are some wood bridges along Hiouchi trail, and Hatton trail, that seem to provide for nice photographs. I think that late spring would be the time to photograph those foot bridges, after new fern fronds have developed. And there might even be a few Rhododendrons blooming.

Difficult print, but I like the way it came out.

The light areas of the background are totally dark in the negative, impossible to print through.
SO I flashed the paper to get to the tonalities you see in the sky and rest was printed in grade 5.

It was shot with a dallmeyer petzval which is contrasty in the center and it becomes softer farther you go at the edges.

"lovely trees everyone, it does raise a question with me, what is it about trees that is so fascinating????"

Well, after spending a lot of time photographing people and rocks, we all need to branch out a little....

He who "leaves" the puns out of this thread is the better man for doing so!

Beautiful pix, everyone!

I can't remember if I posted this one before; forgive me if I did. SW Chiapas, near Cintalapa, Mexico, last spring.

Claudio, Nice! It's got a 50's kinda feel. I guess because our tractor was a Farmall "H" from the 50's and the hay rake was too. I hated bailing hay but i'm glad to have grown up on a farm.
Your shot made me think of all this.

Well said. But when you get to root of the matter, it is better to bark than byte! :D

(Okay, to make up for all this, I'll try to attach a picture...)

300 year old camphor trees - Vergelegen wine farm, South Africa... I think I shot this with a 450 Fujinon C on a venerable Tachi 8x10 double extension. The image works well in palladium.

MenacingTourist - It's not all the way on the west side, I shot it in those orchards on the other side of Lincoln Beach marina looking west.

I think it's to your credit that I am seeing this in a whole new way. I lived in that area for 20 or so years. Well done.

Harold, Robert those are great images.

Here's an image of a tree on West Cliff in Santa Cruz. I decided to do something a bit different in toning this image.

This was taken at the top of Sandia Crest near Albuquerque New Mexico. This old tree has been photographed many times.

I got this with my Anba Ikeda and 150mm Caltar on Ektapan in Rodinal 1:50. The contrast was beyond what I was capable of printing and holding the midtones and highlights where they should be so this is a neg scan photoshopped to bring it under control.

This one I shot in a misting rain on the road next to Dick Creek in North Georgia.

Shot these a month ago or so, just got around to processing them. Been busy at work :-( Glad to see this thread is still going! I love tree photographs!

I believe these were 180mm, and 90mm (4x5 Tri-x)

This is one from Zion.... I'm sure everyone who's shot in Zion has the same spot.
