Early morning walk: Trees in black & white

Posted by Mirko Herzner (Mühlheim am Main, Germany) on 31 July 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

When walking the dog one early morning on a weekend trip to Gersfeld/Germany, I came across this nice view with bright morning light and silhouette trees...

I love the light and the b&w tones, your composition amuses me as I try to figure out if the land really sloped that way, or if you composed it this way for itnerest :o) thanks for sharing this!

@Kylie Greenan: Thanks for your kind words, Kylie! And yes, this shot was really taken at a hillside which slopes exactly like on the photo. :-)

yes -- i love early morning walks... this is really splendid Mirko! moody and cold -- makes me want to start a fire on the hearth and brew some tea! do you live in the country then? this area looks spectacular! a beautiful and delicate b/w!

@dj.tigersprout: Hej DJ. Thanks for commenting. Actually this was quite a nice day and not cold at all. But a fire and tea sounds good anyway :-) I don't really live in the country. The trip to the place featured here was only a short break. My home is 15 km from Frankfurt. It's a small town of around 25.000 people. Not really rural though...

I like this mystery.

Great feel. You handled the fog very well.

Ramiro De Leon from Panama CIty, Panama

very nice BW...I like how the tree and fence lines intersect and make a nice focus point and perspective...very well.

@Ramiro De Leon: Thanks for your nice comment, Ramiro!

Marcie from United States

Nice composition. Love the b & w processing.

@Marcie: Thanks, Marcie!

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain

It was absolutely necessary to take a picture of this view. You were lucky wearing the camera with you. The foggy ambience gives an air of mystery to the space, and the silhouettes of the trees, the line of the horizon and the fence compose a very good system of lines. Very good.

31 Jul 2008 5:49pm

@Paco Díaz: Thanks for your kind and detailed comment, Paco. I am happy you like the photo!

Will from Gainesville, United States

great shot...love the details and tones:)

31 Jul 2008 7:24pm

@Will: Thanks, Will!

António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal

Even during the winter, with the trees without leaves, the landscape can be beautiful. We can take beautiful photos also, specially in b&w.

31 Jul 2008 7:50pm

@António Pires: Thanks, António! Actually this shot was taken in spring. And it was really warm. Maybe I processed it to 'winterly'?

[suvni:R] from Brussels, Belgium

very nice, especially with the fog. Also a good choice not to level the horizon.

31 Jul 2008 10:25pm

@[suvni:R]: Thanks, Suvni:R. I did not even consider leveling the horizon as this is what it really looks like. And the trees would be standing all askew now :-)

Thomas Griffioen from Bocas del Toro, Panama

It's lovely, great composition.

Andrew from United States

Thank you for letting us walk in the field with you. This is the kind of place where you have to stay awhile and look around. Very nice find.

Ásgarðr from Norway

Besides the great misty morning mood, I like how the trees give away you had your camera level! Great lines in this image.

@Ásgarðr: Thanks for your nice comment!

Matt Sutton from Sydney, Australia

that's a beautiful landscape Mirko. I like this very much. the trees are coning back to life after a night in the dark skies.
