Picture This! – Our Next Assignment

Trees
Our next Picture This! assignment is Trees, and while that might sound simple enough we’ve found that photos of trees can be quite startling and impressive. Every master outdoor photographer we can think of has tackled the subject, and images have ranged from lone pines on wind-blown hilltops to magnificent oaks in meadows to pastures filled with blooming trees in the first days of spring. You get the idea. This photo was made with a Fuji S3 IR camera in the Everglades in Florida. The infrared image was made through a Marumi #25A red filter.
