Various tree shots just back from the scanner
I'm with Lee, Tristan, that is a beautiful image. I liked a lot of the stuff at your web page, and I particularly like the subdued color palette that you prefer.
Here is one I'm on the fence about. The lighter trees are aspens, and the big tree is a ponderosa pine. They are growing on a hillside of volcanic rock - I would assume there is some moisture reaching the surface along a fracture line to get all the aspens to grow in a line like that. It was obviosly foggy, and I may have had some condensation on the lens.
I love trees. This tree is in a field in Virginia. Shortly after this picture was taken, the empty field was filled with about 50 Rylan Homes. The picture was taken with very expired Polaroid 55 film. My Camera is a Wisner 4x5 with a 210mm lens. I have a few more photos of trees on Flickr http://www.flickriver.com/photos/gbr10/

A dead tree.
From a 4x5 -- print is 19" tall. Not a great reproduction. I had some fun with this image later on. I had several copies and I bleached them as far as I could, then with Dektol on a brush, selectively brought it back.

Dear Vaughn,
I imagine that the distance effect within this image may be the effect you expected to see previously...
Periodically, forest fire smoke from a few summertime British Columbia fires is pulled over the bordering mountain tops, where the smoke migrates down into Alberta's southern mountain range valleys. The result, as this image tries to demonstrate, is a very fine white haze complete with a very recognizable aroma, which can be driven from the valleys very quickly when a strong westerly wind appears.
As a side note, I bet you had fun working with your image too.

My 1st LF picture:
I know it's not very interesting, but I'm just glad I put the film in the holder the right way round (same can't be said for my 3rd picture).
Dear Jason,
Congratulations on your first image...
Elm tree?
You are not alone with that negative issue, and matter of fact, I would consider that a badge of honour.
