Reaching for the Sun



Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Tamron SP90 Macro
f/27 at 1/45
ISO 100

Trees are everywhere and they don’t complain when you take their picture. There are lots of different ways to picture them. One of my favourites is to shoot them as silhouettes against a bright sky.

For the image above I wanted as many of the branches to be in-focus as possible so I used a very small aperture. It was a rather still morning so the slow shutter speed was not a problem.

In this photo the tree almost seems to be reaching out to grab the sun. I positioned the sun where it is in the photo on purpose by adjusting my camera position accordingly.
