My Favourite Tree Solarized

Now that Christmas is over I have made a start on putting together my latest photobook and have been looking through photos taken this year.

I thought I would have a play with this photo of my favourite tree and this is the result.

Our sky has looked very strange here for the last few weeks due to the bushfires and smoke, so this sky isn't too far away from how it looks normally right now.

The solarization has a really interesting effect but it must be eerie to see the sky that way "au naturale"! Very cool.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Clare Gadsby]

amazing effect :)

[Jane Pittenger]

@pusspup I have thought of printing it

@tunia I use Albumworks for my photobooks. Always had great results. They are in Australia.

@olivetreeann Thanks. The sky is quite eerie at the moment due to the bushfires.

@jgpittenger I love the solarizing effect

[bruni]

Nice picture of your favorite tree.

[sarah]

[Junko Y]

Very cool processing, Babs! I like the baby tree echoing the main tree as part of your composition.

[Babs]

@bruni @gardenfolk @777margo Thanks. I do enjoy having a play with photos sometimes.

@samae Indeed, our sky has looked so strange on occasion since the bushfires started. The sun too has been bright red.

@jyokota Thanks Junko. I take photos of this tree quite often as it is at our local beach and close to where I live.

[Rob Z]

It gives it such a nice surreal feel. :)

[CC Folk]

@onewing Me too! Me too! :)

[Richard Sayer]

Beautifully surreal - wonderful piece of work.
