Tree Silhouettes (Black and White)

Tree Silhouette 1

These images were all taken at Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend, WA. In addition, they were all taken with a Nikon FM3a on Kodak Tri-X black and white film. I have taken a number of photos of the poplars shown above, but typically they were taken of their shadows. The bottom photo is a little different, showing some branches with a background of the Admiralty Inlet area (where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets Puget Sound with Whidbey Island in the background). There are a couple of viewing locations along the top of the bluff that look out through the trees to the water.

The top photo shows the Point Wilson Lighthouse and Admiralty Inlet into Puget Sound. The clouds are hiding Mt Baker in the Cascades. The lower photo shows the ramp that was used for moving a searchlight out to the edge of the bluff to watch for enemy ships (pre-WWI). Both were taken from Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend.

While these are taken with my Nikon FM3a on Tri-X film (and processed in a professional lab), I get scans back from the lab that I work on in Lightroom on my computer. I liked the treatment here of having large areas of solid black … and the interesting silhouettes.

Backlit Moss

Backlit Moss

I was visiting an old friend and walking around his property when we all noticed the sun shining through the moss coating the trees. This may need you to click on the image to get a bigger version to really notice it … but it was quite a nice effect.

This was taken from the waterfront at Port Townsend, looking south to the northeast corner of the Olympic Mountains. A brief break in the shower activity that day. The ferry runs across Puget Sound to Whidbey Island and the Coupeville landing.
