The Zig Tree, Snow Gum Grove, Charlotte Pass
Gelatin-silver photograph on Ilford Warmtone VC FB photographic paper, image size 21.3cm X 16.5cm, from a 4x5 Kodak Tmax 100 negative
exposed in a Tachihara 45GF double extension field view camera fitted with a Nikkor-W 210mm f5.6 lens.
When working in a dense grove of trees it is usual to use a wide-angle lens because "you can't step back to fit things in".
Here there was a bit of space and the shallow depth of field of a 210mm lens at full 5.6 aperture helped isolate the tree from a cluttered background.
I took up the imperious American tradition of naming significant trees. So, I dub thee Zig. Zag would have been gauche.
