post your trees!

Yes Stone i agree. I also like more the iPhone picture than the one i took with the 4x5 camera. I did too many mistake. Too much shift of tle lens. The tree is not complete but cropped on the right. I really wish to come back and shot another picture soon or late.

You will, your photography is excellent, we are never perfect. But we can strive.

Let celebrate the repair of the forum by posting some images we've been sitting on!

I went out for a walk Friday and nearly froze my hands off even though I was wearing gloves and fully dressed for winter except for not having skipants, which would have been useful that day. It was about 5f and a strong wind. I should have shoveled for a while first to get my blood pumping good. It was the sort of day your eyeballs water from the cold and sun and wind. As usual I took my Rolleiflex, but also brought along the 4x5 speed graphic and 7.25" verito and 2 film holders of fp4+. I worked handheld as setting up a tripod was too slow and I wanted to keep moving. Not many sunny days this time of year, so I was glad to see some shapes cast upon the snow.

Wow! Do many trees grow like that over there? Or is this like annual flooding or something?

That's how these particular trees seem to grow! There's a bunch of them on the beach that get submerged like that and there's fresh ones growing next to them, obviously completely submerged at this point of the day. It's bizarre. And that was quite a sizeable tree - a good 10-15 foot high.

Wow that's really cool! This is Australia right? So it doesn't surprise me, they have some pretty amazing wildlife and pretty amazing plant life. So it's one of those trees they can handle salt water? Cool.

Agreed. I love the lines in the second one. The way the eye snakes the road, the power lines, and the ditch are great. Plus full view of the tree. Regardless, both beautiful photos.

Yep, Australia! The coastline of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Yeah, there's plenty of wacky beasts up here - nothing surprises me anymore!

Tree roots vaguely in the style of Ansel Adam's "Roots, Foster Gardens, Honolulu, Hawaii."
