The Medusa Tree

Medusa 2

Tree Of Limbs
It has been awhile since posting anything. Life has been a challenge in many ways, thus the image represents my state in my journey.
Updated continuously by citizens like you, Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment.
Lately have not been inspired to write much or shoot, but this too shall pass.
Ray, these are absolutely fantastic!! Thanks for sharing!!
For an "uninspired" guy ... you have posted some wonderfully inspirational images!
REALLY!
Mac to be honest as i try to be, I feel as thouigh I have become stagnant or stuck in a ditch.My energy levels are low in comparison to the past,I need some direction or something.I thank you for your words as they carry much wieght in my eyes.
Ray,
We've all been there ... in our art and in our lives; no one is on all the time ... we're not built that way. These shots should tell you that even in the absence of motivation, your soul drove your creative inclination.
Go with it and let these successful images precipitate others.
A Mac and others got me outta that stagnant thingie. It's a yuk place to be....Keep in touch with us, it's always another day and we missed your photos. :)
Ray,
Great photos. I love the Medusa soul. Its so incredibly fitting, at least to me, because I find these trees kind of creepy. Still really cool at the same time.
What did you do with the last one? It looks half b and w and half sepia?
editing the photo played with brightness and contrast, then increased saturatuion to a little to the right of the spectrum.While shooting , it was late day and very cloudy so I made sure tha WB was adjusted,. At the same time I increased the f/stop for greater details and depth and a slight increase in the iso.Thanks for check;n out the photos
Comparatively speaking, if that tree represents challenge, that was One Heck of a challenge. wow..great photos though! glad to see you back. :)
Isn't it funny how something like a tree can be so creepy? There used to be a dead tree in a field by my house.. This one lonely dead tree all by itself, displaying its creepiness for all to see.. It gave me goosebumps every time I drove past it.
Has anyone else ever had that feeling about a tree? This tree reminds me of that tree in the field.
I saw a tree on the edge of some woods once that was a ringer for those Hanging trees in western movies. It was kinda creepy.
Hallen94, the last pic was edited by increasing brightness , contrast and playinying with the saturation,since the pic was taken in the late day and very cloudy i shot it adjusting theWB, increased the iso and to get details and depth a higher f/stop.
Medusa Tree - An apt title for the tree. Nice photos too.

Hang in there, Ray. Winter's coming to an end and soon it'll be spring. The buds of new life shall soon start sprouting.

Nice shots Ray! I am so glad to see you because I wanted to tell you I have using bracketing thanks to your suggestion!!
I have a huge oak tree across the pasture that kind of has this feel to it. Striking! Very nice in black and white!
Glad to see you are utilizing that essential tool, great aid in achieving the desired effects.Look foward to see your pics
Glad to see you posting again, Ray! That is a very interesting tree. I'm partial to the last image; I like the subtle colors in that one.
Hello again Ray. It looks like that sycamore has been growing pretty much without obstruction. May we all do the same.
I really love these images, Ray! You may not feel inspired, but your photos sure are!
Sorry Ray, I am behind. Your photos are excellent! Loved them all. It sounds like we are going though the same thing in our lives... but, it will pass. Great job! :)
I love the loneliness ... the desertion ... the sense of waiting ...
Very nice photos Ray.
glad that the pic evoked the desired emotions I tried to convey, the snakes in my head and the the desolation of the soul is the outcome of chaos, yet the tree is some what majestic with it's sturdy trunk. Thanks for stopping by.
This tree is magnificent and I understand the inner wars. I have a silver pendant with a stamp of Medusa on one side and an Angel blowing a trumpet on the other side.
