Red Oak


Red Oak, originally uploaded by MonicaSmoot.

There is new life on my puny red oak in my front yard. It's such a sad little tree. Part of me wishes it would die just so I wouldn't feel guilty about replacing it with a new, stronger tree. But it struggles on and so I will keep it.

If I remember correctly, I shot it in raw, with an f-stop of about 10, around dusk. I think my shutter speed was about 160 and I used a bounce flash. The ISO was probably 200 and I used my zoom lens set at close to 200 mm. It came out pretty dark and then I used Corel to adjust the levels, curves, and contrast to make the leaves pop out. Is that too much geek speak for you?
