Splinter!

tree down on fairbank from the storm

Splinter Time 2017

While walking around looking for things that were yellow, I noticed that some bamboo had been cut down. I loved the way it had splintered as if it was mounting a defense. I was looking for things yellow because I had my camera set up for black, white, and yellow and this made the spikey projections truly pop! So I spent some time wondering if this was a strange form of defense that the bamboo had developed to stop critters from eating it, or it was just happenstance as a result of the way it was cut. Either way, I thought it made for a great capture so I did my best to grab it.

This image was taken in JPG using only the settings in my camera, there was no post-processing or editing.

This drywall mud bucket was holding the glued splinter in place overnight.

The still standing but splintered remains of a tree that had fallen over the winter. Shot with a LensBaby and 'enhanced' with the same texture used in the 'High Voltage' shot.
