Beech Tree in Snow

Winter Beech tree in snow. A 3.5 hour exposure on a snowy day without a glimmer of sunshine. This photo relied on the reflected light off the snow and long exposure in near zero temperatures. I was amazed it came out so well capturing the 'feel' of the winter tree.

@vozac100posto Thank you so much! I was surprised this even came out as the light was not great :-)

@roaringtree
I love expired film, this photo reminds me of Lord of the rings movie 🙂

@vozac100posto Thanks so much and I see it too! This is on long expired paper but the effect is the same. The best B&W expired film I have tried has been the Russian brands from USSR times. :-)
