I've taken many pictures of trees that got cut in the first go-through after loading a shoot into Photos. Usually it's the lighting. What looked so good to my eye at the time didn't translate to the digital image. The human eye can, supposedly, see 2–3 more f-stops of dynamic range than a modern DSLR which doesn't sound like a lot. Also, it's often difficult to capture very large trees on a small digital chip; they seem to lose their grandeur. Here is an interesting article on the human eye vs. cameras.
Any successful picture of a tree is welcome, but I'd like to see ones without fall color as those beautiful golds and reds and purples are what catch the eye, not the tree in its entirety.
Be safe, be well and have fun!
The rules are as follows:
· Follow all relevant local laws regarding stay-at-home orders. If you can't go outside, try and take a photo at home or grab one from the archives.
· Do not comment, vote, react or click “like” on images prior to the winners being announced.
· The photographs must be your own work.
· You may only submit one photo per contest.
· This contest runs for one week. If in doubt, check the dates in the title.
· At the end of the week, The Judge will choose a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
· If the Judge is unable to complete the selection within 48 hours of the deadline, then last week's 2nd place has to step in. 3rd place takes over should 2nd place be similarly unable to officiate.
· The 1st place Winner will start a new thread with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the Judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create a new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
· Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
Here's one I took last September in the Calaveras Big Trees park, with Mrs. AllergyDoc. Obviously having a size reference helps show how big a tree (or anything) is. My dad once said to always have someone in the picture because years after you'll only be interested in seeing the people, not the location. He's mostly right.
