Description Hello everyone! Here's a shot taken in May 2006 in Pellinge (an islet outside Porvoo in Finland) during the afternoon. *ageofloss and I got to witness some extreme climate changes that day, as the weather changed from incredibly misty to sunny daylight in loops all the time. This is a shot I took during a mist cycle obviously.

Print available.

Info: Canon EOS 20D | Sigma 28mm f/1.8 EX Macro | ISO100 | f/8 | 1/100 secs

Hope you like it. Comments and critiques are welcomed.

the slant of the mountain side (is it a mountain side?) looks incredible with the verticle-crookedness of the tree. And how the tree almost looks as if it is growing out of stone is amazing.

In other words, I love it.

That is actually just a big rock by the sea. And the tree is also growing out of it.

Very nice Something different from your usual (sunsets, beach etc.) the angle is nice

i have to say that some of your pictures seem very similar to each other, and its a shame that you dont go to new places and photograph... the whole time ive been watching you pretty much all your photos are from pellinge..

Solkku In reply to hillokala [2006-07-21 20:07:08 +0000 UTC]

For sure.

They may seem "the same" as you say, but you have to look deeper. Even though they are taken in the same place they all have different personalities and characteristics. And besides, if this bothers you, you can always remove me from your watch list.

hillokala In reply to Solkku [2006-07-21 20:19:44 +0000 UTC]

maybe 'the same' wasnt the best choice. similar is what i mean. Obviously theyre not the same if you look deeper (i dont think anything is...)
and im not taking you off my watch list, because you (and a few other photographers/deviants) are my proof that digital slr's are not useless. (trying to convince my dad to buy me a digital camera)

Alatier [2006-07-17 12:44:26 +0000 UTC]

Really great shot.
The mist puts the focus on the tree and the ground which is nice. I love the angle and composition of all your pics as you might have noticed, so no further commenting here. Really great!
It just works

Solkku In reply to Alatier [2006-07-18 19:30:40 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Actually this was the only angle I could take the shot from that only this tree would show... all other angles would have forced the photo to have 2 or more trees in it.

I do feel lonely when I look at this sole tree on a hillside. I want to hug it, hahaha (just kidding...)

Solkku In reply to AngelHalfie [2006-07-18 19:41:03 +0000 UTC]

Luckily the tree was not alone. I just chose this angle so that this would be the only tree visible in the photo.

Sweathog [2006-07-14 20:23:43 +0000 UTC]

Great composition, and the light pink tinge to the background is really pleasant.
I could start reading alot into this shot, but I'm just going to take it at face value, and say it's a single, lone, tree.
It looks bloody good!

Solkku In reply to Sweathog [2006-07-15 18:48:34 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Luckily the tree wasn't very lonely as this photo might show. I found an angle from where no other trees would show in the photo.

Starlight620 [2006-07-14 15:12:32 +0000 UTC]

Aww, poor tree...all lonely and stuff. It looks so deserted. Nice photo. I like the angle. I also like how the misty day gives it more of a feeling of loneliness.

Solkku In reply to Starlight620 [2006-07-15 18:47:04 +0000 UTC]

The tree was not lonely luckily. It had many trees around it, but I wanted to give the photo a "lonely look", so I chose an angle where only this tree would show in the photo.

Refreshing change from your recent shots- nice and quiet for a change! Interesting looking geology , obviously the focus of your portrait was to highlight that great looking fold apex in the rock Well, hard to tell from a photo - mabe its just lichen. But I still like it! And the composition.

I wanted to look at this one for a while before commenting. It's a nice change from the incredible sunsets. This is just yet another proof of your eye for art. It's beautiful, interesting, thought provoking and all that in simplicity.
