Three Tree Silhouette

I went out for a drive today especially to take some shots of trees that I have seen around the area. I ended up with about 80 shots of a selection of trees from different angles and different locations so plenty to get through and process.

These three trees are situated in a field just on the main road from Ironbridge to Shrewsbury, on the crossroads where the turning to Cressage is. I have seen them many times and always promised myself I would photograph them.......job done.

    That's excellent Steve, the trees in the background balance it nicely.

    Seem to be in a bit of a tree phase Steve. I like this one but I really like the other one.

    Oh how luck am I, loads of shots of trees cant wait !!!

  11. Steve Green (52 months ago | reply)

    Thanks Maria. I have a spare hour or so yesterday so thought i'd better get out and take some photos. I was 'getting my eye in' in preparation for photographing 'your' tree tomorrow........I have to make sure I do it justice!

  12. ria3 (52 months ago | reply)

    Trust me you will do it justice. Most of the shots I take are lucky ones I just keep changing all the settings till I get a reasonable shot, I just pray for the day when I see a situation and think ok I need this, this and this changing and then fire off the perfect shot first time.
    Its half term next week yippee I have a full week off work hope the weather stays fine I need to get out with the camera. Getting withdrawal symptoms. LOL I will be heading that way tomoz if its fine so I may see you I will be heading up towards Wolseley.

    I just want to hug these trees! lol
    very nice photos!

  14. Steve Green (52 months ago | reply)

    I was getting withdrawal symptoms too........then I fire off a load at once and spend the next few weeks processing them. Still it gives me something to do and keeps me off the streets!!!

    @ fire~dance: Had there been a music festival in the field you would have probably seen me hugging them :D

    I love Shropshire. This brings it all back.

    I'm listening to Franz Schuberts Unfinihed Symphony No.8 in B minor; as I'm wandering through your photostream. Its a perfect combination; it draws me to the image, making me wish I could pass into it and experience the moment wholly. Still, doing so vicariously is no small thing. Its an enviable record of an enviable moment. A tip of the hat to you for posting such a beautiful photo!

    Dear Steve, I am the author of a new book, non-fiction, now at the design stage: "A Remarkable Journey into the Heart of Europe." I should like very much to use one of the trees pictured in your "three-tree" photo as a chapter ornament. I will of course give full credit for the photo to you.

    If you wish to know more about me, look me up on the Internet. I have written several books, most self-published, and several of them prize-winners. May I have your permission? Thank you. Jane Pejsa
