Ten Mile Mountain, Bull’s Bridge, Connecticut.
We went for a hike on the Appalachian Trail south from Bull’s Bridge up to Ten Mile Mountain. Once I started looking at these gnarly oak trees through my camera I thought I remembered shooting them a while back but I can’t find the images now so thought I’d post this one.
This is the Ricoh GR’s high contrast black and white filter with the grain added. The RAW had more detail but I liked what the grain did to this image so used this one. It’s more dramatic.
An otherworldly beauty Rchard, superb!
Thanks Gary. It might have been even more interesting had I not been lazy and brought the wide angle lens along. Sigh, I left it home.
It’s great as it is, a B & W gothic beauty. Be sure to print this one.
Okay, two requests for prints. Best get on it… thanks.
This is a superb shot, worthy of a print methinks
Thanks Martin. I generally don’t print images that I’ve used the GR’s high contrast/grain filter on as they lack resolution and detail and that shows up in a print in ways that I don’t care for as much as on screen. However, a smaller print, like a notecard might work. I’ll get on it and see. Thanks.
I’m voting for a print
I tried a print, it wasn’t great. Oh well…
Nice spooky shot!
Thanks Jonne.
