[SUBMISSIONS] Trees - Photo Contest 2022

Mount Seymour

This is the place to post your submissions in the Trees category!
(this category is permanent each year)

We recommend uploading your photos directly to the image-hosting site Imgur and then pasting the link(s) here inside [img][/img] tags. You can also use your own preferred image host. However, direct files cannot be uploaded, and Google Drive links are harder to work with.

Providing a title or description (of location and/or subject) of your photo(s) is helpful!

Hello again! I’d like to submit two photos to the contest. I don’t travel as much as I used to, so both of them are pretty local, but fortunately it’s very pretty here and nature is kind enough to provide.

This one was taken early this spring on the path up to Mount Tolmie

This was just few weeks ago, one of the trees at the main entrance to the UVic campus

Hello! These images would probably be better if I cropped them but I am too lazy for that.

Photo Contest 2022 Hype, woo-hoo! Valentine Z (Victoriaans Nederlands in Forest) is back again with his pictures! So this is my opening post, and this time, I DO have quite a handful of tree photos to share.

Let’s get started! ♥

Newer shots are from Nikon D850, Tamron 18-200 mm; my old camera kicked half the bucket - it’s not dead, but it needs a repair before it can get back to action. While not Photoshopped, they have their lighting and other attributes adjusted in Lightroom, while some are HDRs (3-4 photos combined into one single shot).

It’ll be a mix of old and new.

A Small World - One of the better shots with my new camera, where I went to Botanical Gardens in Singapore and decided to take some close-ups. I am often good with macro more than landscape as I realised. Sadly, no ants or small insects on the tree to include in the shot. It DOES look like a small little fruit with some snow on it. Nikon D850 @ Tamron 18-200: ISO 4000, f/6.3, 1/80 sec, 200 mm

Fire Away! - Imagine the plant as a cannon, and the flower as an explosion, and it’s shooting projectiles. Pretty adorable! <3 Nikon D850 @ Tamron 18-200: ISO 2000, f/8.0, 1/125 sec, 200 mm

3/12

Through the Christmas Ornament - It’s as if you are looking at yourself in other bubbles / universes. Very surreal! Nikon D850 @ Tamron 18-200: ISO 800, f/8.0, 1/30 sec, 18 mm
