Read nature; nature is a friend to truth…

Early spring, while I was on my evening walk, I noticed this small tree in the woodland near our home having bit lighter leaves than the trees surrounding it. I liked the separation I could see and thought it would be a great tree to photograph. Unfortunately, the separation between the trees in real life didn’t translate into the photo, and I never posted the image. Now that fall is in full swing here, I noticed that the little tree again has a little more color than the other trees in the woods. Then a winter storm passed by, and the tornado alley's characteristic winds stripped most of the leaves from the trees. But the little tree persevered. But more importantly, I now had the separation that would translate into a photo. I chose to shoot the tree using a telephoto lens instead of my usual wide-angle to exaggerate the separation and used the widest aperture I had available. I also wanted the image to have a cooler color temperature and chose blue hour to shoot the final image. As you can see, a bit of planning went into the shot, and I am very proud of the final image.
