A large tree trunk and root system found on the grounds of the Reading Museum Arboretum. This one really didn't live up to what I had pre-visualized for this tree and at some point I'm going to go back with the Toyo field camera and re-shoot it with more front tilt to get more even, sharp focus on the various parts of both the roots and trunk. The Bush Pressman 4x5 I used has some front tilt movement available but not enough for what I wanted to do here. I lower tripod height for a slightly more dramatic perspective could probably have helped on this one too.
