Sweet Chestnut, Richmond, Surrey
I've had an ongoing relationship with this old chestnut for many years and photographed it on several occasions. He's like a wise old man with lots of character and wisdom and sometimes I feel that he knows better than me what's to be done and how I should respond to situations. Being quiet for a few moments and just 'being' with this tree can inspire in me a wonderful sense of calm and connection with nature. And somehow this enables me to be more sensitive to my own intuition and 'understand' myself and my surroundings better.
Photographed with my Hasselblad, tripod mounted with 80mm lens and yellow filter. Developed to compensate for the contrast and maintain detail in shadows as well as highlights.
