Local trees

[Ken Rennie]

A short walk out of town brings me to this small copse. I am waiting for lots of things to bring me back:
1 Snow
2 Frost
3 Towering storm clouds
4 Autumn clouds
5 Sunrise/ sunset colours.

Excellent! Love the silhouettes and your b&w treatment.

 

[Ben Egbert]

These are both excellent B&W subjects.

Wow Ken! I am liking these a lot! What a great stand of trees and between the 2 compositions you show how differently it can be set up. I definitely would like to see it in the other situations that you describe.

Congrats on the Daily Featured Post Ken!

I'd love to see some of the conditions on your "want" list for this place - delightful scene.

Those clouds frame the trees perfectly. I especially like the extra texture in the clouds in the first.

I agree Kyle, those clouds in #1 do help separate it from #2.

Thanks everyone. You may see this little tree topped hill a few times over the next year as it is only a pleasant 20 minute walk from home. Ken

great shots ken, I prefer the 1st shot over the 2nd, but both are excellent

I awoke to heavy snow this morning with visability down to less than 200ft with large fluffy snowflakes. By the time I got here the heavy snow had gone replaced by small snowflakes and most of the earler snow had melted. No matter the shutter speed I couldn't make the flakes visible. We are unlikely to get a thick enough covering of snow to get the kind of image that I have envisaged until next year but I like this composition. Ken

The light amount of snow you did still have on the ground helps to highlight the patch of trees quite nicely. I like the atmospherics in this last one too.

What a beauty Ken, very dramatic and artistic, the first and last stand out for me.

Beautiful work Ken, as usual!
