A random selection of three photos for this evening, from the 550 or so that I have to share.

Is it a tree? Or a "tree-like creature".

"Tree? I am no tree! I am an Ent."

 

Here is my latest creation of everyone's favourite moving and talking tree (after Groot perhaps?)

 

This was built for the creature category of the summer joust www.flickr.com/groups/4472704@N25/discuss/72157694334704632/

 

I am really happy with how it turned out and how I was able to incorporate articulations to make is somewhat posable while not compromising too much on the aesthetics.

 

I hope you like it and C&C is always appreciated :D

This one found in Tuscany, may be Middle-earth is not in the north but in the south?

The good part after the shot I could silently disappear :)

I was mooching about in Fangom Forest. It was misty and gloomy, dark and silent, save for the sound of my own breathing, and as I tripped on the odd tree root or snagged a trailing ramble. There was such an atmosphere in there amongst the tall trees: creepy. In my mind the forest watching my every move.

 

Perhaps it was a touch of fear that caused a slight tightening of the buttocks and lower groin and prompted a call of nature. So I sought out a remote hidden corner, away from prying eyes, to have a pee.

 

But as I stood relieving myself, head swivelling just to check I wasn't about to be jumped by an approaching monster from behind I spotted a baby Ent, very close to me. Or was it an ork? It made me frantic to finish my business and I zipped my fly never letting my eyes leave the scary little fellow just in case he started to move in my direction.

 

I hurriedly picked up my camera from the ground and grabbed a shot for the record, before I hastily moved away. Again, I wish I had thought about my camera settings, but heart in mouth a little, and rather jumpy, I was glad to get away with even an unsharp shot of the well hidden baby monster.

Good luck to Anne! My very talented and funny competition:))

Finally, the nightmares have begun to diminish and the terrifying story can be told. What began as a quiet picnic under a shade tree soon turned into a horrifying travail.

Just as I settled down and prepared a spot for lunch in the peaceful forest, I heard a strange grumbling sound. Looking up, I was shocked to see the tree next to me advancing aggressively, creaking and groaning loudly. It’s grotesque burls were quivering and it’s branches thrashing about. There wasn’t a moment to waste - I bolted away as quickly as I could. Fortunately, I grabbed my camera and as an afterthought took a photo of the beastly tree as I fled.

My psychiatrist has recommended that I give up picnicking and stick with fast food from now on.

 

This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera with a KOWA 1:3.5/55mm lens and Zenza Bronica 67mm SY48•2C(Y2) filter using Kodak TRI-X 400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
