When Trees Dream #4

Another in this series. This one is different in that the tree reflections don’t fill the frame. It’s not as abstract as the others I’ve posted, but I’m thinking I want to branch out (ha ha) on this series.

Towards the idea of finding interesting things to photograph wherever we are, I’ll say that this was made at the edge of a boat ramp into the Sacramento River, after rain had washed mud down the ramp into the river. The wisps of mud were washing back and forth at the edge of the water over concrete. It’s the sort of scene you’d be tempted to walk right past.

Specific Feedback Requested

Any comments welcome. I fiddled with the colors a bit - any comments on the color are welcome.

Technical Details

iPhone 14, single frame.
(@David_Kingham, I ponied up for the 14 and I’m really pleased with it :slight_smile: )

Bonnie, you sure have a theme and talent here. Wow. Well done. I wouldn’t change a thing.

I recently picked up the iPhone 14 too. Love it but don’t use it enough for photos…which was why I picked it up in the first place. Oh well.

Just a fantastic image! It is hard to find anything to improve here, the only suggestion (a minor one!) is to maybe do something with the white triangle at the LRC.

You have a great series of images here. They are so inspiring.

Well done…Again, Bonnie. Great series. I might reduce the yellows slightly.

Thanks, @David_Bostock, @Ola_Jovall, @Ben_van_der_Sande, and @David_Haynes.

Yes, that is a bit bright isn’t it?

I like the slightly surreal color, but I’ll have a look at changing the tint perhaps.

I photographed with my iPhone for over a year before I purchase my mirrorless camera. I used a tripod and had a couple of Moment lenses I used. It was great carrying a light pack. I took some of my best photos with it too.

This is another wonderful image. Your image feels peaceful. I could see myself sitting on a bank somewhere and watching the ripples float over the tree reflections. I like your processing very much. I do agree about the triangle, easy fix. I’m enjoying this series very much…

Dang, this is really nice. I love the dreaminess of the yellow area on the right. it has an ethereal feel to it. Killer work, Bonnie!

Thanks, @Donna_Callais and @Matt_Payne!

Impressive that you used a tripod! I’m allergic to my tripod :sweat_smile: and hardly ever use it, especially with my phone. It really is fun to compose with the phone because it’s so easy to see the framing.

Yes, that is the effect I was looking for - an ethereal mood. :slight_smile:

Love it - I like the yellow warmth
great series
Its great you are using the iPhone it shows it the eye not the hardware
