Black and white photo of a winter-bare tree jutting out over a the surface of a pond so that the dendritic branching of its crown is perfectly mirrored up and down from the center line of the image. Other trees on the bank are reflected in the background as well. The shapes formed by the branches may appear chaotic, fervent, animal, or insect-like. Photo taken with Nikon F3-HP and Ilford black and white film.

A turkey vulture soars in the grey sky beyond tall Sweetgum trees with the seed balls visible all over the branches. The image is washed out black and white.

A dreamy black and white photo of a path through a wooded area with tangles of trees and fallen branches along it. A small border collie mix pup is in the distance in soft focus and running towards the camera. Taken with my Nikon F3 HP using a Tokina 35-105mm lens and black and white Ilford 400 HP film.

A black and white photo taken from behind tall wild plants that appear obscured in the front of the lens focused on a dog walking away from the camera through some tall grasses and many trees in the background. Some creeper vines twist around the bole of one of the trees.

Black and white photo of a pond taken from a low angle. The pond has thin ice around the edges and where the ice has melted, trees surrounding the pond are clearly reflected in the water. Some ice meanders in towards the center of the pond and is in soft focus. The only clear focus is in the center of the pond. Trees on the opposite bank are evergreens and some bare hardwoods. The light through the trees is grey-white.
