Park Bench

A seat is waiting beneath this wonderful cottonwood tree to rest those wary bones. Photographed using a Holga wide pinhole camera earlier this year.

Pinhole camera photography is so fascinating, and this composition was a great choice of subject. The corner vignetting fits the scene so well.

Thanks, the vignetting is a bonus on the wide pinhole although sometimes it can be a bit much.

Good to see you back! Hope your time away was refreshing. Nice photo, I like the play on light as a backdrop to the tree!

Magnificent pinhole shot, Mike. Love the contrast and the seat/tree against the skyline.

Wow great use of the Holga pinhole! I love the dramatically different clouds on the right and left of the tremendous tree. Great image!

  Thanks, this one worked out ok. I thought the tree would not obscure enough of the sun but it did. Take care.

Good presentation.

I enjoy shooting trees. I made a similar shot last summer (non-pinhole and different compopsition) with table and chairs elements. I have yet to execute post prod.

  Thanks, trees are a great subject. I really like them in winter spring before they leaf out. Hope your days is going well.
