barking up the artistic tree

torico (63)in #landscapephotography • 7 years ago

So I am back from a lovely vaca on the east coast where I spent much time hiking in the woods and through gardens with my sister. Last bit of it spent limping as my feet and knees and butt became over-extended. Yes, I spent way too much time sitting chair-bound at my desk this winter. Note to self: get the phuk outside and exercise!

I grew up on the east coast, and while I love Colorado, the northeast has the most exquisite deciduous tree selection!

The multitude of bark formations and freaks of nature that make each tree spectuacular and unique are something I never get tired of exploring! Here are a few of the crazy beautiful things I saw on a two hour hike in Tohickon Valley Park.

hope you enjoyed the perspective! photos/words by me! tree subjects courtesy of nature...

That's some really impressive close up photography! Tree bark is always a fascinating subject, there's endless variation to it.

This gave me an idea. I should try do some macro shots of bark. Some of the texture, moss or insects on it could make great subjects.

I have a Nikon 105mm micro but it is now collecting dust. I’m using my iPhone 8 more these days, bought an Olloclip Macro Pro Lens set, it gives decent shots when you do it for fun.
