Spring tree in the dunes

This tree which was just starting to leaf-out, was photographed just to the east of State Park Road in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.

 

I photographed this tree using a large aperture to minimize depth of field. I used a Mamiya RB67 medium format camera along with both a polarizer and a red Wratten 25 filter to achieve the effect in the sky with the whispy clouds. The photograph is on Efke 25 film and it was developed in Kodak HC-110.
