post your trees!

Thanks Gary. In south GA fog wasn't very common and didn't hand around for long. Now up in the mountains things are a bit different! At this location it wasn't fog so much as literally clouds up on top of the mountain, which was pretty cool. It stuck around all day - saw it in the morning when I passed going elsewhere, and then when I was coming back it was still a white-out so I had to stop and shoot a half-dozen sheets.

After scanning the rest this one is my favorite from the afternoon and I will probably print this to 16x20:

This is great. The vertical in the middle is bold and centers my eye before it wanders the composition. The fog works well (I'm used to it) here for creating depth and separating the trees from an otherwise tonally similar background. And rocks and leave are always interesting too.

Thanks jp, and thanks for mentioning the vertical tree in the middle. That bugged me when I was there as I was looking around for the best angle. I went with it there and now it is kinda growing on me. I loved the giant granite rocks stacked up in the background.

Perfect lighting and the Pyrocat is helping with edge separation. This and the other dark image you posted remind me of the Charlie Daniel's song Wooly Swamp.

on certain nights if the moon is right
And you're down by the dark footpath
You can hear three young men screaming
And you can hear that old man laugh.

During my latest sojourn on Cape Cod earlier this month, I was again struck by the trees close to the coast, which are just fantastic to look at. This gem in particular caught my eye, for all of its curves. This is in the beachfront park in Hyannis, on a particularly gray day.

Thanks Eric. Yeah, the high contrast and reciprocity characteristics of the Efke film, combined with Pyrocat, made this work. Wasn't sure it would and almost walked away but I'm glad I tried it.

Bryan,

I'm enjoying your "deep woods" images.
I personally find such images are challenging to make because of all the "noise" created by the background trees, branches, twigs and underbrush. However, your images are interesting and nicely composed. They seem to resolve the surrounding chaos.
