Description
Some strange, naked trees at Cedar Breaks Park, Utah, that reminded me eerily of skeletons, although they were somehow beautiful, too.Related content

Strange indeed haha - love the funky contrast in this, very cool angle as well! They look very imposing.

Thank you. Yeah, the whole forest was actually a bit spooky, it was if the trees were made of bone. *shiver*

I really like the duotone style of it. Intense colors and shading. The linework is very interested. Calling myself a minimalist, there is a little bit too much going on here, but this is personal preference, of course. Nontheless, outstanding picture!

Nun ja, ich konnte die anderen BΓ€ume ja nicht einfach fΓ€llen!

I really like this shot but I think you might have turned up the white value a bit too much, the trees look a bit burnt out. Also, is it me or is the shot slightly out of focus? Anyway, aside from that, really good work!

I actually didn't touch anything when I made this photo; it's just the way these trees were. Kinda creepy, that's why I gave it that title. I'm not sure if it's out of focus though. It is not brilliantly sharp because it was an exposure made from slide, so that might be the problem. I've gone digital only for a little over year now.
Thanks for your comment!

How interesting! In that case, I take back what I said, apart from it being a good piece of work!

LOL, thank you. That was a very special forest. Unfortunately, I only had a snap-away camera back then. I'd like to go back there with my new equipment today...

Thanks for such wonderful art!

I thought the white trees were amazing. I had never seen anything like it, and of course, the clear mountain air helped to bring them out nicely on the photo.

AWE BEAUTIFUL!
It reminds me of my ski trip in Colorado.

So many nice memories come up when I look at these photos! *sigh* Why is it not vacation time again?

Do you take pictures in your own backyard or do you travel?
π: 0 β©: 1
Unfortunately, my own backyard looks NOTHING like this, so yes, I travel. Where I live,there's some nice forest and lakes, but it is all very flat and, well, a little boring.

Well, you have some awesome pictures, I can't wait to see what you'll snap next

Thank you. *blushes* At the moment, I'm experimenting with older shots, because the weather has been HORRIBLE for almost three weeks now, and there simply was no use in getting out and getting completely soaked. I definitely hope things will get better, soon, or I'll bang my head against a wall long enough to put it all behind me (just kidding).

OO I've always liked looking at old black & white photos, I think their neat. Yeah, the weather has been really bad here, winds have been up to 50 mph.

Ugh... that sounds even worse than here! Although today is rather nice again.

Yeah, it's the same here, it's 74 degrees when it's suppose to be in the 30's & 40's. I wonder if it's okay to go swimming in February
π: 0 β©: 1
Honestly, the last few days have been very weird here! Usually, February is the coldest month here, and already we've got sunshine, 12Β°C and the birds are singing and building their nests!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a little too early to be building nests, crazy birds 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I tried to tell them that, but they wouldn't listen! Anyway, temperatures are getting lower these days, so perhaps they will catch the hint.

Yeah, I'll post some pictures of Haus pulling, once I get some film 
π: 0 β©: 1
Sounds like Haus has "Husky-heaven on earth" at your place.

If I had the huskies in your neighborhood, I'd give them a complete workout

That would make those huskies VERY happy, so come on over!
I don't have a pet now (it's hard when you work all day iand would be very selfish of me, I think), but I used to have a dog for 13 years; a black lab crossbreed (presumably, his mother was a Spaniel, but it was hard to tell, because he looked like a Lab, only quite a bit slimmer). His name was "Charlie" and I loved him dearly.

LOL I wish I could, but it's a long ways to Germany
Awe, do you have a picture of Charlie?
Is taking photos your career? because you are very good at it.

You got mail!
thank you so much for the compliment, too; it really means a lot to me. Unfortunately no, I don't earn my moeny with photography, and I really don't have much of a clue of a clue about it, too ( too much math and physics for me). I'm trying to improve though, and feel that since I bought the Sony, things have really changed. You learn so much better with a digital camera!

Awe he has a sweet face, may what big ears he has
I'm getting my first digital camera soon, it arrives on Monday, I can't wait! I'll be using it to take pictures of my art and putting them on eBay.

Yeah, he was a cute bugger when he was little (and a nice-looking dog when he was grown).
Thanks so much for your calendar idea, I've been thinking about it repeatedly, actually. The thing is that I couldn't use most of my animal photos, because most of these are from zoo animals, and you can't make any money from them (because of the rights). As for my other photos: printing a calendar is quite expensive, and I wouldn't know whether I'd sell enough to cover my costs.
Good luck with your new camera, I totally understand that you're excited! Which one is it?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, Haus is sometimes dominant, but I am the pack leader and I tell him what I what him to do
I'm getting a Nikon D80. It's funny that some of the Nikon cameras can't automatic focus my Nikon lens, I have a G lens so I would have to find a camera body that would automaticaly work a G lens. To me a Nikon should work on a Nikon, you know what I mean.

That's really strange. I'm really satisfied with my Sony A100 with the Minolta lenses, though. No such problems.
I wish more people would really learn about dog behaviour before they bought one, that's for sure!

Well, I got my camera, I'm having a lot of fun with it!

Sounds great! I wish you luck!

And then imagine the warmth of the sun on your face... the quiet... and the slow feeling of suffocating, because this place was at an altitude of about 3,500 metres and you had some climbing to do to get there.

Thank you! Glad you like it!
