On our way through the woodlands before Sugar Loaf Hill, we found a great many sessile oaks with immense levels of character.

I enjoy trying to find balance within the frame, especially when the subject is not perfectly symmetrical. I probably took the shot a dozen times, trying to move the sun around the branches as it set behind the slope beyond. I used f11 on the XF 16 1.4 as it was the best compromise for front to back sharpness, and the resulting sunstar. Certain media has had an influence on both the composition and the colouring of this shot. I softened the highlights, introduced a golden tint to both shadows and highlights, and raised the blacks to soften the contrast a little. Using a gradient I decided to really push the exposure in the upper half of the image to maximise the fantasy inspiration (Elden Ring).

Mt.Chokai and Lake Chokai (Yuza, Yamagata, Japan)

A cloud hung over the peak in this morning, but it broke after several hours! So I hurried to prepare the climbing and went!

この日の朝は山頂に雲がかかっていたのですが、数時間後には雲は切れました。慌てて準備をし、登ってたどり着いたところから撮った草紅葉の鳥海湖と鳥海山です。

Just after sunset, no red sky but a lovely tint

Union Pacific's NPLAZ creeps around a nifty two degree curve, approaching a stop indication at the absolute signal at east Tintic, Utah on the Lynndyl Sub the morning of Oct. 12, 1990.

Rio Grande GP40-2s No. 3111 and 3119 pull a train of grain empties and a caboose through Provo Junction the evening of July 31, 1986. The geeps spent the day exchanging loads for empties at the Moroni Feed rail to truck turkey feed transfer in Spanish Fork and the LDS Church welfare farm grain elevator complex in Elberta.

"I am struck by the simplicity of light in the atmosphere in the autumn, as if the earth absorbed none, and out of this profusion of dazzling light came the autumnal tints."
