Shot while sitting in my yard waiting for birds that never appeared. An old oak tree with a figure at its base. It’s in my neighbors yard, about 400 feet from camera position. K3, DFA 150-450 @ 450 mm, f5.6, 1/400th, ISO 800, hand held.
This red oak is about 6-feet wide at its base, probably more than 200 years old. (The formula for estimating the age of a red oak is diameter in inches multiplied by 4.) Definitely was here when the only residents were native Americans. There’s a white oak across the street that is about ten feet wide at its base. White’s grow even slower than reds, so I would guess that tree is around 400 years old. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18146696&size=lg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
