Birch Walk

The outhouse nestled in the birch. Unfortunately my first offical use of my new hoya R72 nfrared filter was on a winday day. The tree limbs and leaves were flapping in the 20 MPH breeze making it fifficult to capture a still image at an exposure rate of 45 seconds. This is the result after converting to black and white. Mitchster has done several IR photos, all are stunning images.

Love the texture of the bark and the perspective. Well done DL.

It's surprising just how rare it is to get a perfectly still day. Even when meteorologically (had to google that one, and blogger still thinks it's misspelled) there is zero wind speed, there almost always are local air currents.

Good start. Looking forward to more.

All about textures. You really feel like you can touch the peeling bark through the laptop. Great shot
