First post of the new year from this past November.
Many of my photos from this particular swap often include one or several prominent trees backed by dense swamp forests.
On this installment of my annual trip, I visited the Louisiana side of this now popular lake and found a portion of swamp that was anything but dense.
I was missing the usual bright white trunks against a dark background and because I was on open water, interesting foregrounds weren’t readily available.
In terms of interesting foregrounds and backgrounds, I really had nothing around this particular tree.
So when you have nothing, maybe try to photograph the nothing?
Shot in the 65:24 crop mode on my medium format Fuji, which mimics the aspect ratio of Hasselblad’s X-pan camera.
