Trees are willing subjects but don’t be fooled—to create a compelling photograph; you need to take time to get to know them. You don’t have to worry about catching them in action or getting them in the right mood. They won’t get uncomfortable if you spend hours studying them from every angle at all different times of the day. Does that make them easy to photograph? I’ve certainly had my fair share of conditions and light capturing this particular tree in the dead forest of Torres del Paine’s Patagonia. With climate change comes difficult times to predict the weather, so you have to be flexible and use natural lighting like the moon and traditional backgrounds like the milky way to bring the scene to life. Feel free to post your best images of trees from around the world, and yes you can post pictures of the Wanaka Tree from New Zealand.
