Strad Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #2 · #303: Neptune's Trident I like the color version much better, Jim, my friend! Fascinating capture! What a strange tree. Fond regards, Endre Jul 13, 2008 at 03:27 PM

Steve Spencer Online Image Upload: On p.1 #3 · #303: Neptune's Trident Hi Jim, What curious growth on this old cedar. I love the composition, but I do wish the sky weren't blown out. I didn't see the B & W version, but I can see why you went that direction. If Endre wouldn't have already said that he liked this version better I would have suggested a B & W conversion. Either way I bet it is a striking shot. Good luck this week, Steve S. Jul 14, 2008 at 12:41 AM

James Markus Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · #303: Neptune's Trident Thanks Endre. Actually, I have seen many cedars with weird branching. The native Americans sometimes bent them over to mark trails. As they grow, the side branches become trunks growing perpendicular to the bent truck. (they also used other trees) However, I used naturally formed ones. Here is a another one Strad wrote: I like the color version much better, Jim, my friend! Fascinating capture! What a strange tree.

James Markus Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #5 · #303: Neptune's Trident Thank you for the comments, Steve. I over worked the original post, and I was working on a laptop the last 8 days...so I wasn't happy with it when I saw it on my desktop calibrated LCD. Here it is... I still like the general idea, but it needs much more work for me to get what I want. I'm sure i will revisit this, and shoot it again. BTW, the sky isn't blown...those are plain white clouds & overcast. Steve Spencer wrote: Hi Jim, What curious growth on this old cedar.

Bill Sutherland Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #6 · #303: Neptune's Trident My first reaction was you shot this with a fish eye lens. What a strange and interesting tree. Best. Jul 14, 2008 at 07:58 AM

Carrol Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #7 · #303: Neptune's Trident Very cool looking tree - and great angle! Carrol Jul 14, 2008 at 01:23 PM

James Markus Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · #303: Neptune's Trident I did shoot it with a fish eye, Bill. Though it distorted the tree itself very little - you can see the horizon is curved quite a bit. Just before this shot - I took a three person group shot on the left branch - which is about 2 feet in diameter. Bill Sutherland wrote: My first reaction was you shot this with a fish eye lens.

James Markus Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #9 · #303: Neptune's Trident Thanks Carrol. I laid on the ground to get that angle. Carrol wrote: Very cool looking tree - and great angle! Carrol Jul 14, 2008 at 02:11 PM
