Trees – S.H.O.U.T.

Single Photo: The Energy Tree

The Energy Tree stands in Bristol’s Millennium Square. It was designed by John Packer, and built with help from recovering addicts from the Bristol Drugs Project. It offers free phone charging and WiFi, to anyone sat close enough! I found it rather striking. I made this image on Ilford HP5, with my Canon EOS 30Continue reading “Single Photo: The Energy Tree”

Bonsai Alley

When I went to Wisley Gardens a couple of weeks back, I also used a roll of Kodak Gold colour as well as the roll of Kentmere 200 I’ve already shared.

6×6: Avenue of Trees

I had half a roll of FP4 left in the A12 Mag, so I set out for a quickContinue reading “6×6: Avenue of Trees”

A Tale of 2 trees

… in 4 cameras As one approaches Dorchester from the south, from way outside the town there used to be an avenue of trees. I can just about remember them from my childhood (I think!). They’ve long since gone. I suspect they were elm and disappeared like so many others with the Dutch Elm DiseaseContinue reading “A Tale of 2 trees”
