This stuff is quite amazing, in particular Birch Shadows I think. Do you do anything besides vertical panning (which is at the time of the shot...?) PP-wise?

Thank you! Vertical panning, indeed, some sharpening and adjusting levels, all in LightRoom. And for Birch Shadows, I decreased 'clarity' completely....

You indeed have captured the very fabric and soul of your subjects.

Thanks Sparkle! This is what I fall back on when there's nothing else noteworthy to capture, I guess.....

Rense, I really like the last two. Well done. I have been trying this lately myself. Just trying to find the right tree stand. JIM

I like the second one and the last one. Love to see what you and Jimbo can come up with when you see a stand of trees.

gfonso · 12-29-2010, 10:31 AM

I think Quercus Robur is particularly sucessful. I like Birch Shadows a lot as well. Interesting stuff!

**volley** · 12-29-2010, 02:38 PM

The birch shadows are just great!

**Iris** · 12-29-2010, 02:49 PM

I love the birch shadows and can appreciate Quercus robur as well

**jheu02** · 12-29-2010, 05:52 PM

I'd say Birch Shadows and Q. Rubra are my faves out of these. Will have to try it sometime also.

**Scottnorwo** · 12-29-2010, 08:09 PM

beautiful images. the last two are superb.

JMR · 12-29-2010, 08:45 PM

Nice work Rense. You have rhythm, pattern, colour and complimentary colours, motion, texture and visual poetry too. Doesn't get much better.

Thanks Jim! And I noticed your vertical panning shots of tree stands and I liked them very much!

I really like that last two as well. I played around with this technique yesterday on some type of bush. I got some interesting shots. I also tried a couple horizontal sweeps, before I filled my card.

Abstract Not for you, probably - trees close by and from a distance....
