Can't remember which camera took this. One from Chirk Castle a few weeks ago.

 

[Kevin Allan]

Image deleted as I entered a photo thinking this was "an old film shot" challenge, and the shot was too old to be valid for this thread.

Well I have two beautiful Wisteria trees, one in the back garden and one in the front, and after years of trying different lenses and apertures finally realised with the background and things getting in the way problems, thought I'm only going to get a decent pic by cheating in Photoshop:-

 

[Slyelessar]

Veins.

[Mrs Snap]

I can't see me having time to try and get anything better this month

Taken during the few days of Summer that we had in June(!) on a late afternoon stroll alongside Ullswater in the Lake District. I really liked the way the sunlight was shining through the canopy onto the exposed roots.

Nikon FG. Can't remember what film.

Well, after hanging on in case I got chance to take more tree shots this month, I didin't find the time (and won't have chance to shoot and develop anything between now and the deadline now) so have gone with my original choice.

Yashica Mat 124 G & Fomapan 200.

I've decided to enter this double exposure because I like the ghostly look of the tree and the sandstone rocks overlaying it.

I've decided to go with the newly planted trees at the student accommodation at Inverness College. Oly OM2N, 50mm, Poundland Agfa via Filmdev in February this year.

It's all a matter of perspective...

I have a variety of restrained, graceful, mostly black and white shots to choose from for this month... then this happened:

Pentax LX, Pentax-M 35-70 zoom, Cokin grad hand-held over the lens, Vista 400

 

[compulsivehordr]

I thought I would have a break from my greeny/blurry stylee and try something different - b&w and (almost) in focus... F100, 55mm f/1.2 Ai, some kinda expired film.

I'm going to go for something a little abstract. During the Cornwall meet we visited the Eden Project, and there was a bit of a queue for the canopy walkway platform. I took this close up photo whilst stood in the queue. No idea what type of tree it was, but probably something I don't know how to pronounce

Canon A1 with 50mm f/1.4. Not sure on the film!
