post your trees!

Two from this summer, and one from November. Two near the Hocking Hills, near Lancaster, Ohio (with Mat Marrash!), and one from Westerville. Two with the 4x5 and one with the 5x7.

Debated putting this in the Abstracts thread but I guess I'll just put it here.

This tree had fallen over and the branches were sideways on the ground, nicely illuminated by soft light. The branches reminded me of illustrations of the "Many Worlds" hypothesis in quantum mechanics. Silly perhaps, but the idea persisted so I made the photograph:



This one was taken at f/45. I also considered whether or not the image would look better with a shorter DOF to emphasize the "main" branch, so shot one at f/16. HERE is that image if you want to compare. At the smaller size it's a little hard to compare the DOF though.

More trees. This time, trying to coax out a composition among this gaggle of oaks:

Very nice! It would make a nice square composition too by eliminating the bottom 1/5. If you have interest in science aesthetics mixing with nature photography, check out "Nature's Chaos" by James Gleick & Eliot Porter.

Hidden Water Tank

Very nice! Simple in the good way, well designed and great tones.

I saw this (dead) tree out on the way to a job in Pipe Creek, Tx and felt the urge to photograph. I was really pleased to have a sky!
