lonesome
Cleveland national forrest, Ramona Ca. 5 am- This is my favorite of all the pictures I’ve taken. Sadly, I took it with a little, fixed lens, digital camera. When I came back a few weeks later with my D200, the San Diego wild fires had already burned the tree down. This photo is all that remains. Forever immortalizing this fantastic tree.
lonesome belongs to the following groups:
Complex Simplicity of Art, California Sound , Dawn and Dusk Light, Landscape Photography, Live, Love, Dream: , National Parks of the World and The Fine Art of Photography

beautiful atmospheric shot, like the way the mist is encroaching down and yet the tree stands out strongly. the title is interesting then, though the tree is isolated it still seems strong

You go 7 mega pixel digital Camera!!! I think this photograph is amazing….did you change it to sepia or was this natural lighting?
Matt Richardson replied
Natural lighting but I white balanced the camera on a piece of green paper. It’s a fun trick to use. You can get some interesting color variations.
margieacosta
Very interesting….thanks! Have a great weekend
Matt Richardson replied
thanks, you too. and thanks for the comments!

carol brandt
Right place, right time, terrific atmostphere, framing, colouring, subject matter. No wonder it’s your favourite picture. If I’d taken it I’d feel exactly the same. Everything about it is just perfect. If it’d been there when you came back with your D200 I doubt it you’d top this anyway. Beautiful photography.
Matt Richardson
Thanks Carol~ =) I appreciate you taking a look at my work.

beautiful image, I dont think it matters that it was shot with the 7pxl I think it gives it alot of atmosphere. What makes the image more appealing is that through your story we know it is no longer there, great work x
