Tree at Buttermere
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 24 March 2014 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This lone tree at Buttermere in the Lake District is a real beauty.
The lake was very full of water on the day of this shot - the tree is normally on the edge of the shore but here it was quite a way out into the lake.
As you can see from the photo, it was extremely windy (approx 50mph) and the top of the tree was really moving about blurring the branches on this long-exposure photo. The main problem was keeping the tripod still during the 15 second exposure time.
Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog

@Hans ter Horst: Hi Hans - what a lovely thing to say and I'm really pleased that you think I'm still making progress with my photography. I've no plans to give up architecture however and, photographically speaking, I enjoy the freedom that being an amateur brings where I have the luxury of taking photos solely for myself.
