For me one of the more challenging things to photograph has always been a group of trees in the forest. When I’m standing there visualizing my shot the scale and beauty of my surrounding seems almost impossible to capture with a camera. My senses are overwhelmed. The phrase “Can’t see the forest from the trees” comes to mind.

Most of the time when I transfer the images to my computer they’re not as exciting as I remember the place being. The scale, beauty, and mystery are all lost. But every once in a while the photo is better than I remember the actual place being. These are the moments I live for.
