post your trees!

"Shattered Stump"
Phone scan of 8x10 negative. Shot with Seneca Improved View and Dallmeyer Rapid Rectilinear. Homemade Waterhouse stop with diamond-shaped aperture (check those out-of-focus highlights). 9 seconds exposure on Catlabs X-Film 80. Developed in Legacypro L110. Hey, finally a shot on the X-Film that doesn't have serious emulsion flaws! Think I'll stick with the L110 with this film, the two seem to play well together. Developed in the Stearman Press SP-8x10+ daylight tray (diggin' it).
Looking forward to printing this one.

Not a particularly beautiful tree by any mean, but hey, the title did say "post *your* trees", and this one is ours! It's a ~70 years old silver maple from our backyard and it unfortunately has to be cut down in the coming weeks so I wanted to immortalize it on large format before it happened!

Taken with my Omega View 45F, Wollensack raptar 135mm lens, on FPP Frankenstein iso 200 (i.e. Foma 200?) developed in HC-110 dilution B for ~4.5 minutes.

Another great way to immortalize a tree is to use the wood to make a keepsake item like furniture, woodturned bowls, carved pieces of artwork. Maybe even have a frame made from it for the picture.

Very nice--a lovely color of bark, a bit different than our Platanus occidentalis here in the States. (Of course sifting all of the cultivars--and even the London plane tree, which is supposed to be a cross between an American sycamore and the European varietal--is probably best left to professionals

At any rate, sycamores--along with tulip trees, hemlocks, and the sadly extirpated American chestnut--are/were the real giants of the Eastern Woodlands...one is still able to find trees with trunks two meters diameter breast height.

Thanks. Yes, I won't hazard a guess at the specific species as my knowledge of botany is sketchy at best

This is a nice one, love the trunk of the fallen tree and the branch reflections in the water. Overall a very nice scene.
