Volatile beauty

We've been pretty busy the last few weeks. Diana finished her school term and I have been doing assignments for Demotix and others. I've neglected my blog sorely and I miss it. I miss you!

But, here's a sample of what I have had time for. These Eucalyptus are all over California from the North clear down here to San Diego. As beautiful as they are they are a serious fire hazard. If ignited, there is little chance of putting them out. But, they are beautiful "creatures" nonetheless and, like most beautiful creatures, volatile.

I shot this with my Zero 2000 on Fuji Superia at ISO 100. I simply placed the tabletop tripod on the trunk and exposed. I love the perspective of pinhole.

I promise to be back with more as time allows.
