Portrait of a Tree - Steinfeld, South Australia by

I had only driven a short distance from the ‘Dumped Car’ picture (also in my photostream) when I saw this tree. I couldn’t resist stopping to take some more pictures. I saw the images in my head before I had even clicked the shutter.

I had to wait for a while in the same spot until the sun broke through the clouds to illuminate the tree and field in some amazing golden light. I think it was worth the wait.

Taken with Canon EOS 40D Camera, Canon EF-S 10-22mm wide angle lens (at 10mm), tripod mounted with live-view used for precise manual focussing.

    A great image enhanced by the sky. I think the composition suits this even though the tree is in the middle of frame.
  • Thanks for your comment Terry! :)

    I don’t normally put the subject smack-bang in the middle of the image Terry, but I agree with you that it looked the most appealing in that particular scenario. I took a couple of others at different angles, but I think that one turned out best.
