My American larch was superbly photographed this week by my teacher, Bill Valavanis. We both owe gratitude to Joe Noga who hounds us relentlessly to improve our photography skills.

Great pic and a great tree! The detail of the bark is yummy - it looks like an exotic golden brown flakey pastry, and the tightness of the branches and internodes is wonderful.
Am curious about how that black infinity effect is achieved if you feel like sharing. Typically the only way we have of sharing a tree or other object we like with many people is on the web, and then we are limited by our ability to photograph it well.

There's a house up for rent just down the road. You'll be able to have larchs up to your eyebrows.
Pure Michigan!

You can easily control the background with an external strobe and a few light modifiers. It's easy if you know how to. There's a nice online tutorial. Google for the strobist

Great trunk and really ramified for it's size. One of my favorite larches.

Thank you all for your praises. I'd like to say that this tree would not be where it is today without the help and guidance of my, friend, my mentor and my teacher, Bill Valavanis.

The trunk is hollow. The cavity at the bottom runs up through to the dead wood half way up. I discovered this when I removed the old top. Maybe in the future...
