two sides to every sto... I mean tree

I'm blessed in having a small patch of woodland right at the bottom of my road, and as long as I take my time and walk carefully it's reasonably easy for me to access it.  Anyway, it's been giving up a number of photographic opportunities lately, both of a wider view and the more intimate landscape.

I became fascinated with a tree there on one of my recent visits and decided that I could photograph it from both sides.  So, I did!  But not on the same trip.  And here it is:

View #1: Fujifilm X-H2, Fujinon 10-24mm f4 @10mm
1/4 of a second at f8, ISO 125
tripod, self-timer release


View #2: Nikon D700, Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8D @ 20mm
1/6th of a second at f8, ISO 200
tripod, self timer release

And I also shot this 4-frame panorama of the entrance to the woods.  I wanted to emphasise the dramatic tunnel-like effect of walking down there, so there was a fair bit of dodging and burning in post processing to get that final desired effect.

Naturally I filmed the whole darn thing and decided to put it out onto YouTube largely unedited. So, if you've got a spare 25 minutes or so you can join me down there as well as see the other images shot that day.
