Stacks_On_Tree_SEL

Inspired to experiment by an article on Petapixel today about the photographer Frank Machalowski got me out at lunch time testing his ideas out.

 

I kind of like this shot but it is a little too busy. I needed more background separation but I only had a 56mm lens so had to be far away. Next time I'd be a bit more scientific and measured, use a wide angle lens and find a subject with better background separation. I walked an arc about 120 degrees around this tree at a constant distance shooting every 1.5 m or so for a total of 30 images.

 

This is a blended colour / B+W image. The B+W blending reduces saturation and adds contrast.

 

In summary you need to look at this guys amazing website:
