2019 WEEK 8: Trees

Hidden in Plain Sight by Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero

We’ve had a few weeks of indoor challenges so it’s time to get outside! This week we’ll focus on trees. You can photograph a single tree or many trees, an entire tree or just parts of it, only trees or trees as part of a larger scene. The choice is yours. If you want to further challenge for yourself, consider adding another parameter to this challenge such as:

A technique such as double exposure, long exposure, infrared or intentional camera movement (to name just a few)
A unique perspective
Limiting yourself to a particular focal length such as wide angle, 50mm, etc.
Minimalism
Macro

I encourage you to be creative. How might you photograph trees in a way that you haven’t tried before?

If you would like some inspiration, I encourage you to scroll through the results of this search I did for “fine art photography trees“. Also, this search on Flickr.

To recap this week’s challenge:

Take a new photo that contains one or more trees. Don’t forget to think about composition, lighting, mood, etc. in your pursuit of finding tree(s) to photograph.
Post your photo during the week of Sunday, Feb 17 and Saturday, Feb 23.
Please remember to comment on at least FIVE photo submissions this week by answering the question “why?” in your comments. In other words, “why do I like (or not like) this photo?” or “why did this photo catch my eye?” Thank you!

The friendly community guidelines are pretty simple:

Take a new photo for the current weekly theme, not something from your back catalog or someone else’s image.
Post your photo each week to our active communities on Facebook or Flickr (or both). Tag the photo: #2019photochallenge #photochallenge #tempusaura
Don’t leave home without your camera. Participating in the 2019 Trevor Carpenter Photo Challenge is fun and easy.
