Many photographers have found themselves returning again and again to the same location to explore the possibilities with an image that has captured them. Such was the case in my own experience with this massive root structure, well over 25 feet long and 12 feet high. You can find an earlier version of this scene through the link below: The Truth About Roots ~ Exposed. That image was taken in the winter months. The one above was shot recently in late May.
The look, feel, and impact of the structure varies dramatically with the time of year, the quality of the sunlight, and one’s own perspective. This is a pointed lesson in photography: there are many possibilities with any given image. Pursue them…
