The Shape of Trees

I was driving along the road to White Lake observatory near Penticton, BC, Canada, when I spotted this cluster of trees, I had hunch that it might make for an interesting picture, I parked a ways down the road and walked back along the shoulder of the road and set up my camera and tripod , I liked the various shapes, very feminine….. its always nice when I can find pictures right along the road, I had no real plan just to drive some of my favourite local back roads and see what I could see.

Stillness #2

Here is another image of the same scene in Peachland, BC with a little bit different perspective, photo was taken with a 4 x 5 view camera and a 270mm lens.

The Dream of Stillness #1

This is an image I made of a reflective and still Okanagan Lake in the morning last week, I decided to head out for a day trip with Penticton in mind ( south of where I live ), on the way there not too far from where I live I got side tracked when I noticed how still and calm the lake was, its not something I see every day with a lake of this size, I felt the docks in Peachland would an a little extra to the image, I have posted the wide shot here first, taken with the 120mm lens with my 4 x 5 view camera, in a later post I will post the image I made with the medium telephoto lens ( 270mm ).

Two of a Kind

I paired these two images I made recently at Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park, near Kelowna, the pictures were made from small patches of snow that had not melted creating an island of snow in the shadows of the rocky hillside. I was attracted to the unusual shapes of the snow. The images were made with my 4 x 5 view camera and a 270mm lens.
