One photo a day challenge: Day 104.

I have been trying to work in photography of subjects I don’t often work with. This cemetery is right near where I run frequently. Today on my way to go for a run I stopped and photographed the cemetery a little bit first.

I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do at first. I was just looking for something that interested me.

The trees were starting develop leaves and flowers. I was looking to see if there was a way to use that in a composition.

Then I saw this large tree. The tree was massive and sprawling. It took up a lot of space. It had presence.

I was not sure how to photograph it but I knew that I wanted to photograph it.

I worked my way towards the tree. Stopping and taking photos as I found compositions that I liked.

Eventually I found this view with the moody cloudy sky in the background and the huge sprawling tree branches silhouetted in the foreground.
