Sun Tree

WOnderful!

Beautiful photograph. Nice work.

Neat shot!

Very nice shot

The yellow cast from the street lights almost looks like the sun. Good job.

nicely seen and executed

Very nice photo!!

all i will tell you is that i had to think about setting my lower jaw back into position after i saw this....i was afraid i wouldn't get it in the right spot after it had dropped so far.

At first I thought this was taken at sunset in Africa or somewhere similar...Nice use of a daylight film in flourescent/tungsten lighting giving it an extremely warm mood!

From thumbnail, I too thought this was another African sunset shot...albeit a very well-executed one. Now that I know the story (got it from misty lamp pole) think it is incredible and extraordinary...especially if super-warm light is natural result of exposure and not added after. Any filters? Experimenting with night shots, artificial available light using daylight film and get acid greens sometimes when I don't want them--what do you got in them lights in Texas? (>_<) ...Great shot.

I've had people ask, has this been photoshopped? No. This is straight off the UltraCD I got from the lab, it was resized and posted. I did not use any filters to acheive the color. I ran around the tree and fired a hot shoe flash twice (I just hit TEST, no real TTL stuff) from two different angles to try and make the tree have texture and not be a silhouette. Guess it kinda worked! I really appreciate the feedback, and hope you have a chance to check out my less fancy photos and leave a comment :-)

This functions on many planes aesthetically and visually making it a continually interesting photo. Definately a candidate for POWeek here. A fine addition to your collection and success story for experimenting outside the box.

Great use of the enviroment. Simply stunning!

I agree with Neil this is definitely POW material. Your work is creative and thoughtful. Good eye.

 

Beautiful shot.

Really a nice shot, if the lamppole was removed it would have been something outer this world:=)

Great colors, simply beautyfull.
