Lone Tree

in one frame #4

Nikon D7500 + Sigma f2.8 17-50mm @ 17mm ; f13; 1/125 sec; ISO100 – taken 8 April 2025.

I just wonder why the image a single tree has such an appeal for me?

This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week.

Into the Woods

Walking through the woods can be scary, and it’s more relaxing when there’s good light with sun shining through the branches. Still when I took the above image I’d already walked quite a distance and I felt quite on my own. For some reason I felt some unease and didn’t go much further.

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.

A Walk in the Woods

Walking alone in the woods is a different thing. No matter how bright the sun shines or how calm the weather, there is uncertainty; an uncertainty that doesn’t follow you on any other walk. Even if you’re following a good path, being unable to see beyond the next tree has an effect on your psyche. And quite soon you experience the feeling that you can no longer be seen by anyone else – and you really are on your own.
