Trees at dawn. Quick sprint to the top of the Malvern Hills and then back to the bottom for these two images as the the sun came up on 25/02/2018
"When you go out into the woods and you look at the trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You appreciate it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn't get enough light and so it turned that way. And you don't get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying, "You're too this, or I'm too this." That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are." - Ram Dass
Trees are wonderful subjects to photograph. Their unrefined organic makeup lends towards lots of added color and texture. The beautiful earth tones and texture of this old tree stump can still be admired even after the tree has been cut down.
One of my (many!) New Year's resolutions is to be a bit more creative with my photography....here's an attempt!
I hope everyone has a happy and prosperous 2017.
Tree of life Kings Canyon. The shape of the tree and the birds in the tree watching the sun come up, was I think laden with symbolism.
From our tent flap at dawn, taken with a cheap film point-and-shoot. We had driven out to Joshua Tree for comet Hale–Bopp. A friend had a telescope with a motorized drive and a camera setup, and was trying to get some photographs. We sought out a dark, remote spot to set up for the night; not sure exactly where it was, but judging from the creosote bush it had to have been down in the Pinto Basin. We had great looks at the comet, but he never did get the 20-minute exposure he needed without clouds coming across and ruining the shot. When the sun came up, though, those clouds made for a great sunrise!
The gardens of Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire. The colour version was OK, with the strong shadows cast by a very sunny day. However, I thought the B&W grainy conversion really emphasised these, along with the leaning-in effect on the trees, partly caused by a wide angle lens pointed upwards.
I love taking photos of pathways and also taking photos in the woods.
Not a huge fan of this though, just felt like uploading something!
Anthotype of a tree. This image was made starting from a elderberry juice emulsion and a digital print on transparent film. 5 days under the mediterranean summer sun for develop!
My corner of the family Christmas tree. Beatrix Potter's Tom Kitten, Batman, and my favoritest ornament ever, the fairy with the poofy hair. She doesn't hang from the tree; she's got wire bendy limbs and just sites on a branch. She makes me happy.
She's falling apart, and I'm desperately looking to find a replacement for her.
