During my recent winter tour to the Black Forest with Lars Kehrel and Fabian Müller we didn't miss the opportunity to visit the famous wind beech trees a the Schauinsland mountain. This is one of the few location which look great in reality but even better when you start photographing at it.
This is because with a photo of these tree you can really bring out their isolation and resilience which they need through the cold winter days. Here I opted for a radical approach: While sometimes the trees are isolated by a snow storm or heavy fog when we visited we could see the whole group of trees. By using a the right viewing angle and some heavy post-processing I did isolate my favorite tree of the group. I really like the level of abstraction you can achieve that way.
