Tree Motion

[Dan Cattermole]

I bought a new ND filter yesterday. A ND 2-400 for Hama. £30 quid it cost me! the most expensive filter I own to be fair. lol

Anyway, this was at my nans in her back yard with the ND filter on, f/22, ISO 100, and 50 seconds exposure..

It has been pretty miserable in worcestershire today as far as the whether is concerned, so I thought I'd capture it in a different way...

and here's a shot off the iphone to show how it was done

Thanks for looking

Sleepy hollow springs to mind Dan, nice idea and works a treat in B&W

great reference Kev, i love the look of it ... very gothic and dark

 

[Paul Lange]

That's very good Dan! Such a simple idea but it really makes a striking image.

I wasn't to sure when I saw the image on the camera.... I was very close to deleting it.....
But as they say.... see it on the big screen first before deletion. Gald I did... Thanks guys.
I'm going to be playing around alot with this filter for a while. lol

Is it not screaming at you Dan "water, water, water"

It had plenty of that about 30 mins after this shot was taken!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

What a great idea Dan - very cool - love the detail in the bark as well

 

[Brian Moore]

It has a look about it that you see with Holgas and also pinhole cameras. Very nice, Dan.

 

[Garry Lee]

Even it you didn't realise it was a tree, it's visually striking.

 

[Tim Pindar]

Excellent idea and a very interesting image, Dan.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks you guys

 

[Pete Askew]

Very, very effective Dan. I really like that. Great idea

Mind Tree-Motion sounds like some dodgy 80's dance combo!!

I had a feeling that didn't sound right! Lol
Thanks pete.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Brilliant Dan!
I know when someone has taken a good photo sometimes when i get that "bugger... why didnt i think of that?" feeling!
really nice idea, and the b&w suits really well!!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks Hamish,
Let's just say I was inspired by the wind. Lol.
It was just an experimental spur of the moment thing which happened to work in my favour

 

[Priya Viseskul]

I like the way the tree is leaning back with the trembling branches ... almost as if it's angry and about to strike something.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Yeah, if it got any windier than that it would of been me it strikes
Thank you Priya
