Project Description:
I like to experiment with old manual lenses in sunless daylight. The unusual colour rendering of a Vivitar lens always comes as a surprise. If I ever have to correct something in post processing it's usually sharpness. For Talking Trees, I was specifically looking at the abstraction of the subject when taken out of context – this effect of flatness gives the image the characteristics of a painting.
