I went out into the foothills East of the City on a stormy Spring day. It was one of those days when the wind is blowing and in an instant it would be bright sun, followed by shadows and even a bit of spitting rain. This very old dead oak was sitting alone by itself. It felt dejected and saved at the same time. It is very large and spreading so I took many, many test shots, trying to find the right way to present the subject. Believe it or not, this final angle I chose is literally under its scraggly limbs. Having found the angle here that I liked, I then went about shooting during different moments of this light show and chose this one because of the way the sunlight glint for literally a second! This photo will look astounding on metal or you could choose to have it more sublime on canvas. Sizes over 40" on the long side are available but only as special order limited editions.
