Trees ;)

I was out shooting at low shutter speeds again today, these were the standouts in the trees.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for taking a look

The Willow

Branches

Not perfectly happy with the colours in this one yet, they have that slight muddiness to them that is the thorn in my side with these kind of shots.

You are taking photography to some new dimensions..... I liked all of them and first one is a billionaire's private collection :thumbsup:

Yea #1 is really special! It reminds me of my favorite tree from when I was a kid. What processing effects were you using there?

These are very nice PixelRabbit.

The willow has a dreamy quality and a well balanced composition that really works for me.

Thanks so much everyone! The willow is absolutely my fav also, when I saw it in camera I smiled

and hoped beyond hope that it was going to look good big, always a good chance they don't especially these low shutter speed shots. I was thrilled when I saw it big!

Heitz, there are NO processing effects

the only processing I do on these is sharpening, contrast and colour.

Wow! Glad I finally looked at this thread, #1 is phenomenal. You need to blow that thing up as big as you can and get hat thing in a gallery. Gushing seems to be prohibited in this forum but I can't help myself. Love, love, love it!

I like #1 a fair bit, and #3 as well. You've been doing some good work recently, and showing us how to use the camera expressively, and with interpretation. Good shootin, J!

Thanks Jhodges and Derrel

Then how did you get it to look like a painting? It has some other-worldly quality I can't put my finger on...

Wow, these are cool! Top one almost looks like an antique painting! Would never have thought to use a slow shutter speed when shooting a tree to be honest..! Very creative!!
