Here's a tree at greater than 1:2 – the bark of a ponderosa pine.



Tachi 4x5
Schneider 150mm/9 g-claron
2 sec. @ f/32 for DOF
Ilford HP5+ (in Kodak HC-110)
Epson 4990/Epson Scan

I added more than a stop for compensation. This tiny-and-light lens makes macro work easier, though I don’t remember this shot being too difficult – the subject didn't move and was at a normal tripod height. Quite convenient.

That's very nice. Thanks for posting.

Thanks David. I often find Ponderosas on the dry, eastern slopes of the Cascade mountains. Often they lean slightly – I’m not quite sure why. The painterly quality of mature ponderosa bark is also great for color film. In the image above, the contrast differences are mostly due to dark maroons + brighter touches of orange, yellow. And the vertical black bands offer a pleasing, rhythmic balance. A tree easy to love.

Gabe, the texture and colors are quite nice. This reminds me of a Pacific Northwest scene. For I know and love that green! Usually on the bark of Redwoods, Red Cedars, and Sawara Cypresses. I’ve captured the green on b/w film, thanks to the contrast, but never in color. Thanks for the nice close-up.

Thanks. My botany knowledge is pretty abysmal, but I think the tree in question is indeed a Red Cedar of some description.

Very nice work --even if you didn't have t work very hard.
