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.
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.[/QUOTE]
Very nice work --even if you didn't have t work very hard.

One of my first images dedicated to trees on the 8x10. This was taken at the Wuyishan national park in Fujian province in China about two weeks ago.
I wanted to capture the morning fog lingering above the surface of the water, but the slow shutter speed allowed by my Fomapan 100 just made it into a low contrast blur without any details, a pity.
Shot on the Chamonix Alpinist X at 240mm on Fomapan 100, home developed in 1+25 ordinal then scanned on a flatbed.
