I like the vantage point that this location provides. It is looking almost straight down onto some trees that are growing on the top of the ‘dunes’ along this section of beach. An unusual viewpoint can help make a photo more interesting.
I have taken photos of the trees casting shadows on this building before, but this one shows nice branching that the others lacked. This is one of the building that is still in use on the grounds of Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend.
These were taken at Fort Worden State Park and show some of the relics left over from when it was more a Fort than a State Park. Taken with a Nikon FM3a on Kodak Tri-X film.
Above is one of my favorite trees. It’s a madrone that is at Fort Worden State Park (one of my favorite locations for photography). I really like this tree for its symmetry and fully formed shape. So many madrone have non-symmetrical shapes due to their neighbors blocking light. This one has been able to grown in an open area for years and years.
Below is a magnificent Douglas Fir that is along the Ira Spring Wetlands trail in the Bogachiel Rainforest, just outside the Olympic National Park. You can barely see the opening into the interior of the trunk … too small for an adult, but I’m sure small kids and animals frequent the small area. I was sorry that the opening was such that I couldn’t get a good view of it.
These are images of tree silhouettes that were taken at Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend, WA. The image below looks a lot like a black and white image, but if you look closely, you’ll see some color in the trunk of the madrone. That’s what happens when you are shooting with the camera exposing for large areas of sky. I was going to convert it to black and white, but decided I liked the effect of the faint color.
In addition, these images were taken with a digital camera, not on film as with my previous post.
