Barely hanging on

[Jon Buffington]

This old tree is getting weathered away to nothing, soon to be gone. Captured last month after a dusting of snow, dusk. Canon F1, fd 24/2.8 w/orange filter, delta 400, scanned on a kodak pakon f135+. Savage Gulf State Park, Tn.

Great work. A Canon F1 now that’s a name from the past, great scan

I am going to go out on a limb and predict that gravity will win

Sorry I couldn't resist. This is a fun composition and I like the subtle contrasts in your processing.

Thanks! The f1 has all the brassing on its' finish to suggest its' age

I keep wondering when it will go...probably within the next year. I had another stump hanging on to another ledge near this one but it has succumbed to gravity.

Appreciate the feedback!

Hey Jon!

B&W is really appropriate for this old guy. It's amazing how it's just hanging on like that, stretching out into nothingness. Great job with this.
