Sunset Tree, Salt Point State Park, November 2017

February 01, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 80mm f/2.8
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Ilfotec HC

I saw this tree earlier that day, and I knew I had to take some photographs at sunset or near sunset time. I did take a few shots from the sides, but I wasn't fully happy with those compositions.

I kept walking around the tree, looking for new angles, when I came across a picnic table that had the best perspective of it. Sitting down on one of the benches, I made this image of the silhouette of the tree.
