Forest Hill Cemetery in April, when the forsythia was in bloom, but the trees weren't yet leafed out. It's a favorite place to visit at certain times of the year, largely for the sense of peace and serenity to be found there. (My gallery for the cemetery, which will give you a better sense of its attractions for a photographer and a nature lover, is here: http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Places-By-Type/American-Cemeteries/Forest-Hill-Cemetery-Ann-Arbor/19440854_PPkJD4) A stitch of three frames, hand-held.taken about 4 pm, facing slightly east of north. Each frame exposed at f/10 and 1/500 sec, ISO 400, 22mm focal length (33 mm equivalent) using a Sony Nex-5N. There is nothing special about the subject of the scene that warrants a shot (or set of shots). It was the light and the shadows, especially the large tree shadow coming in from the left, echoing the bare-limbed trees themselves, that appealed. DP069-2013. Posted and processed March 10, 2013. Taken April 19, 2012, Ann Arbor. I wish I had better stitching software. The merge areas are quite apparent if you view this in the large sizes. Part of the problem is, of course, the fact that I took these hand held. But even if the camera had been mounted on a tripod and correctly leveled, there would have been stitching problems. I'd welcome suggestions for what software other people use. This was done with Canon's Photo-stitch program.
D109-2012 Maple tree keys. It looks like a high percentage of the keys never developed...perhaps the flowers weren't pollinated? If you're curious, the lavender in the background is real. It's from a redbud tree. Gallup Park, Ann Arbor April 19, 2012 (nex5n)
