The Gallery Hideaway

When I read Leya’s Lens-Artists Challenge was to be about ‘My Hideaway’, I had to scratch my head. The main place I successfully hideaway is inside the covers of a good book, but I didn’t believe I could do justice with photographs of my books.

Trees in the Sun 3 – Resurgence

This is the third and final image of those white-barked trees that I came across. All images taken on the same day, in the same place with the same vertical camera movement during the exposure. This image was taken with a shutter speed of 1/5 second.

Trees in the Sun 2 – Portal

This is the second post in this series of images I captured at Knapp’s Loch with a group of trees of such whitish bark. I liked the streakiness and the hints of the tree shadows along the ground.

I feel here the movement of the camera has created a generally gloomy outlook in the foreground. But the space in the trees gives some hope of a way through present troubles…..hopefully to a brighter future. Lets hope so!

Trees in the Sun – Barrier

Abstract from Reality

I’m starting here a short series of images all taken on the same day. I came across these trees in the sun. The trees were quite unusual to me in that the bark was silver, almost white, and very smooth.

I took all the images hand-held with a longish shutter speeds (between 1/2sec and 1/8sec) and moved the camera upwards during the exposure. It’s nothing new and not really that clever but I find some interesting effects occur.
