Solitude
It was snowing heavily in late evening upon our arrival in St Johann, Austria. This lovely lone tree was full of snow and went straight into my must photograph journal, I decided to wait till morning to get the best light. The only thing that stopped my planned photograph, the morning rain.
Although this shot was not what I was intending I am happy with the result as the mist did help in isolating the tree.
Canon 5D, 24-70mm at 70mm, f/11, 1/400 sec, ISO 200. No filters used. A massive amount of dust and hair removed in photoshop, where had my camera been and OMG, how do I stop the sensor getting that dirty?
This shot is also available from a photobook collection called Rural Mementos by redtree.me

It’s absolutely gorgeous! Did you know RB is featuring it on their ‘Now Where did I put that page’ page? There’s a group ‘Stillness speaks’ – who would love it!
redtree replied
Many thanks. I didn’t know, I’m am new to all this Rebubble stuff, what does that mean?
nadine henley
I’m going to try to post the link to the RB page – hope this work. You should find it here

Congratulations on being featured on the art page, beautiful shot.
About the dust on your sensor, do you turn off your camera before changing lenses?
redtree replied
Many thanks. I’m quite excited about that.
Everytime, maybe I don’t give it long enough before shutdown to lens change? Does that make a difference?
Though I am like a dust magnet. I just have to be more careful I think.

hi david – hope you saw it before it disappeared! There are several ways to get our work seen more on RB – one is to join groups and enter images in the group; group hosts decide on which images to feature on the group page and that means that more people will see them. You can visit other people’s sites and then they will likely come by to visit you. By far the best way is to get a RB Homepage feature. What happened today was that your image was featured on one of the RB standard pages that comes up as a default when you can’t get through to what you were wanting. So that’s great! That;s how I found you. Your portfolio is very impressive – looking forward to seeing more!

I’d seen this pic some time back on RB HP (I think) – and I’m bemoaning the fact that I didn’t explore your portfolio earlier!!
“Although this shot was not what I was intending I am happy with the result ...” what were you intending. I would be over the moon with a shot like this, so I’m really curious as to how you think it could be bettered (cos I can’t see how).
redtree replied
Many thanks for your comment. I’d call it a lucky accident. :-)
