Treetop Convergence

Looking upwards from an Oregon forest floor, the perspective gives this photo a kaleidoscopic feel.  The converging lines of the tree trunks create a dramatic vanishing point at the center of the blue sky. This image was captured along the Eagle Creek Trail in the Portland area.

Many of the trees in this area were ravaged by fire a few years before I was there.  Many of the tree trunks in this image still bear the blackened scars.  I was in the Portland area for a conference in October of 2022.

I took this photo with a fisheye lens and had to take several shots at different exposure levels so I could combine them for an HDR image. Otherwise, the sky would be too bright and the tree trunks would be too dark.  I may have over done the HDR since it has a surreal feel.

This is one of those images that really is better viewed larger.  You can see for yourself by clicking on the image.
