I had hiked past this beautiful grove of hilltop oaks for several years – typically on my way to some other place – before I happened to look up one morning and notice them. Now this grove has become one of my favorite subjects, and I’m working on photographing these trees in all seasons.
This image is a stitch from multiple 12 megapixel images. A recent print from the photo is three feet wide and it holds remarkable detail, such that I am certain that it can be printed much larger.
This old oak snag is another familiar subject for me. I’ve visited it throughout the year – during winter fog and rain, spring warmth and new growth, the hot and dry California summer, and the golden period of autumn.
