Description
About a month ago, Harry (goodoleboy) posted a few shots of palm trees from this very interesting perspective. I was inspired!
We don't have palm trees up here. Well - not healthy ones, in any event. Every once in a while someone (undoubtedly from out of town) decides the landscape could use a few, but they don't last very long.
So here you have a Douglas Fir tree.
I stood right at the base and shot up into the tree, but realized quite quickly that I would need another shot from the street in order to show you how tall the tree really is.
The shot on the left is the full length version, of course, and the lowest branches are "about here." The shot on the right is looking up into those low branches.
A few people had said they get vertigo looking up like that, and I was interested to see if it would bother me to take a shot of this sort, but I suffered no ill effects.
The house on the right is mine, by the way.
Thanks, Harry!

Excellent shot and perspective!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very nice.
OMG, you went ahead and did it! As you promised, a looking up, crick-in-the-neck, falling-over-backwards, capture of a Douglas fir tree. Good idea to have a reference shot on the left (why didn't I think of that?), with fine lighting and textural effects displayed in the right photo. That said, thank you much for the dedication, my dear friend! It is appreciated beyond comprehension, plus I can always use the support. I'm happy I could add a new dimension to your already extensive photography acumen.
wow interesting perspective of this great tree!
I didn't get vertigo, but I sure got a crick in my neck, what a great shot and I love seeing your house too!!
Excellent shot,
A dandy Douglas fir, and a fabulous POV!
that is a big tree!
Cool pov there ;)
Really nice pic! Very well done!
Well done! I have several of those behind my house too. It is interesting to look up their skirts, as it were!
they are amazingly tall and a superb collage
Wonderful shots. The one on the left is great as I love to see how towering these trees can get.
So fantastic to see how far up the trees can get. Beautiful shots both of them. We have pretty high trees here in DK too.
Superb shots. Very impressive perspective on the right image. Looks fantastic!
So interesting to see your house, Tara! I'm one of those who has to be a bit careful lookingup, OK if I'm not looking THROUGH something, eg camera or binoculars!
impressionnant !!!
wonderful shots
These can be fun! Great work and a very cool perspective. I love those tree trunk textures! And the height... wow!
Wonderful POV and detail in the photographs ... the bark is awesome [I never thought I'd use that word!] Mike
Can I say "awestruck"? yep !!! :o)
Fantastic bark texture Tara, I don't have any pics of trees like this, but I do have a factory chimney, looking straight up from ground level and a well stood back shot for reference as well, I will have to see if I can find it and post tomorrow if I can. I have done this with a few chimney's but never thought about it with trees. Mind you we do not have many trees like this, most of ours have branches pretty low down, so wouldn't get the same effect. Excellent capture and great that you included the street shot for a reference. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
I like this work and POV!
Great POV.... Aloha
