Snapped this about two hours ago while walking the dog. I've walked past this tree a thousand times but for some reason yesterday it jumped out at me. So I made a note of my exact location on my iPhone and returned today with my camera, again while walking the dog. I uploaded it into LR, ran a simple low contrast B&W conversion and viola. I'm really happy with this shot, I think I may print this one big.

Is this the Snow Birds or just random planes?

As far as I know they were just some random planes. They flew over the local cenotaph on remembrance day. This is a case of right place, right time, right conditions, and a little luck with timing.

Here are few more shots from the same area as the last tree shot. Please let me know what you think. These shots represent something a little different then my typical style and way of shooting. Most certainly a slower, much more deliberate pace. Trees like this are not easy to shoot, and finding balance with such a busy subject requires patience and time with the subject.

Anyway...

Trevor - as someone who is just a viewer (not a photography expert), I like the middle 2 best.
And of those, I like the 1st one the most. It has an amazing amount of color in it and really reminds me of a winter day on the farm where I grew up. We had a large grove of trees on the south side of our property and I remember views like this on cold winter mornings.
As always, I really enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing.

Trevor, I like the third one of the first series, that is black and white. I find that some scenes really lend themselves to black and white and that one sure does. Guy

Here's a couple from Yosemite last month. There is so many great spots to photograph.

Along the Merced River looking up at El Capitan.

Following in the steps of Ansel Adams, aye?

Thanks for the kind words.

Same tree, 3.5 seasons: I figured it qualifies for the thread because it required some thought at least :coffeedrink:

TJDIV,

Great chronological perspective. I especially like the 2nd, The trunk being all black and the leaves kind of glowing.
