shot with Fuji black and white 400, polarizer with orange filter in early afternoon.

Decent, though a little soft in focus (due to scanning?). I think its a good effect but I think it would have been even better with a super wide angle lens. Maybe a tripod also (remember that those filters can really slow down your shutter. A polarizer itself can eat up to 2 f-stops).

This photo looks a bit haunted. I miss those shots where the trees are all like that...

well, it's due to scanning and compression. THe original scan is 5000 by 3000 pix, so I had to do a bit of work to get it small enough that they'd allow me to post.

I like this and although it looks as if a wider angle lens could have captured more, I think this works well. Actually, I feel like the front tree in the shot is spreading open the frame with it's branches and ready to step out of the scene. I'm sure a sharp print would look great.

I used my 28mm for this shot. I really don't have use for anything wider, nor could I afford it right now. But I'll keep it in mind.
