Future patriarch oak
A young live oak, only a few decades old, on the FSU campus, near the top of a hill that is fairly steep back in the opposite direction behind me. The buildings near the palm trees straight ahead in the middle of the picture are part of the College of Music.
Taken with an HDR camera app (only two exposures combined) on an iPad 3 and imported into ArtStudio to straighten up the verticals. After all, outside of pictures in the real world upright things likes trees and buidlings are actually close to vertical, but it's easy for me to forget that the lenses of my eyes and cameras don't always see them that way. I adjusted the perspective in this photo and left it a trapezoid partly to remind myself of that. Sometimes I also like to see things in my pictures lined up the way they "really" are.
