Friday’s Focus - 2019/05/19 - B&W Trees

[JimFox]

The Focus this Friday is on B&W Trees or Forests.

So please add your B&W Trees to this thread.

I will start with a few from Colorado that I took in a May snow storm yesterday up on the I-70.

B&W trees, great theme, Jim.

Here are a couple:

1) Another bristlecone (this particular tree seems to get shot by everyone)

2) Aspen trunks in Banff

 

[Douglas Sherman]

I don't know what I am doing because I have never done B&W. So to help get the ball rolling, here is my version of the lone Ponderosa Pine in Zion National Park.

[Ken Rennie]

You have seen most of these before ( I think) but some of them are quite good, or I think that they are. Ken

 

[Jeffrey]

Yes Ken, quite good, I'd say.

Really good stuff, Dean. The dogwood shot in the fog is magical!

Great topic, Jim!

My take on BW trees! I love photographing trees. They have so much character!
