This is the same favourite tree that I already have a photo of but this time I actually stopped the car to take this photo! I not only find this tree fascinating but in a way, quite intimidating due to it’s awesome size, age and mystery. With this treatment, I have endeavoured to capture some of the age, mystery and sometimes darkness of this old tree.

This is for the HDIR group challenge. The original image is infrared. Taken on my old FujiFilm FinePix with an R72 filter attached. I used Topaz Adjust to get the HDR effect on the leaves of the tree. The challenge stipulates a reflection….so I made one ..(I hope) by inverting the original image and adding some motion blur and altering the perspective. Then I added a layer of texture ..I felt it just needed something else to finish it off. Oh, and the title comes from a band called “LIVE” from their CD “Mental Jewelry” It’s playing at the moment on my computer and I thought it was appropriate.

Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe ~ The Raven ~ 1845 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, / While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, / As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. / `’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door - / Only this, and nothing more.’

Best on Full Size Just a fun reminder to those of us in the Northern Hemisphere to set seed out for our feathered friends in the coming weeks and months. Winter is very hard on these little guys … I have no idea how anything so tiny and fragile looking can withstand the ferocity of winter’s snow and ice and cold … but they do. A little help from us is never a bad thing. Many of the guys who regularly visit me love black oiler sunflower seeds and I always try to make sure my feeders are well stocked. focal distance 300mm. This image was taken on March 2, 2009 with the Nikon D40x and the 70-300mm vr Nikon lens, UV filter. Shutter speed was 1/800, aperture f/5.6, exp 0.00, iso 200. “Please Feed The Birds” was taken at the same time as Tree Treasure ... and the two images are very similar. But I loved how in this one my little buddy is looking right at me. Plus I was monkeying around with some new textures and a couple of other techniques and kind of liked the results. Thanks to “Telzy” at Flickr for the texture.
