Beautiful use of light for composition and dramatic effect.

I'm glad you've captured this Steve. Nice work. It troubles me that with warming temperatures and drying out, these magnificent trees become more susceptible to wild fires.

Thank you, lynn. Your concerns are widely shared and well placed. In 2020, a major wildfire on the CA coast about 20 miles south from where I made this photography destroyed some redwood forests, including in Big Basin and Butano state parks. The photo shown in #1601 above is of burned trees in Butano SP that had been cut down after the fire.

Beautiful, wonderful shot!

Erik.

Thank you, @Erik van Straten, much appreciated!

On first viewing, I scrolled right past these, thinking they were gray and dreary, with no real content. Then I took a second look, and fell in love with the subtle, somber moodiness of them. Well done! I suppose this is a lesson in "On-Line ADD", and how I can pass right by valuable work that doesn't scream for my attention. I'm probably not the only one guilty of this...

Methuselah Tree, Leica IIIc, Voigtlander Snapshot Skopar 25mm f4.0, TMax 100 in Ilfotec DDX. This coast redwood is one of the few old growth trees left in the Santa Cruz Mountains of the Coast Range of California; there are pockets of old growth trees elsewhere in the area, such as in Big Basin State Park, but many of these trees were burned in a 2020 wildfire in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties. Methuselah stands on its own, to the north, near Skyline Drive in Woodside. It is roughly 1,800 years old, and is 14 feet in diameter near its base.

This has very nice depth and light. Thanks for sharing!

I am really enjoying these photos, and they were taken with an interesting range of equipment.

Elbow lake in the Rockies west of Calgary, M4, 21mm Super Angulon.

A bit later after coffee I was awake enough to get a shot down the lake on large format with the Linhof. Just posted it in Colour Landscapes. If you look close you'll see my LandRover and tent by the trees.
