Waterlogged Trees


ian cameron

Loch Maree, Torridon, ScotlandAt the edge of Loch Maree on a pretty dreadful winter afternoon I saw this water logged tree and the roots of another exposed and snaking into the loch. They had a quite an eerie appearance and this eeriness was significantly enhanced in a deluge of rain that passed through with myself hiding beneath an umbrella protecting the lens from water droplets, for now the backdrop become shrouded and the water logged tree stood out clearly without the obvious distraction of a horizon line cutting through it.Pentax 67 II ,45mm lens,Fujichrome Velvia2 Stop ND filter, 0.3ND Hard Grad, f/16 at 8 Seconds.

Sitting under a brolly in pouring rain utilising the deluge to conceal

the backdrop. Loch Maree, Torridon, Scotland. Very difficult to

manage well.

This is an excellent composition and great use of the rain to isolate the tree from the mountainside. Am I right in thinking the water surface is purely a result of the heavy rain?

An excellent shot, Ian. As you stated, not an easy exposure to make. I am always happy that you provide the technicals details of your shots. Good in-camera work is essential when shooting film and using a single frame for each shot. You do extremely well. Best regards. Peter

Sooooooooooooo special. Thought it was moving water at first (I must shoot too many slo-mo ocean scapes myself to figure this out correctly). Well done.
