DECODED TREES - NATURE IN B&W - MONOMAD (14 PICS)

Tcats.jpg


Whenever I am on one of my walks in natural environments and I observe a tree with leafless branches or with incipient foliage, my first impulse is to take one or several photos of it and this is especially true if there is an intense backlight effect... I like that kind of convulsive chaos in the small branches formed in presumed anarchy. I also like this complex abstraction typical of nature in some cases visually seductive...

Siempre estoy en una de mis caminatas en entornos naturales y observo un árbol con ramas deshojadas o con follaje incipiente, mi primer impuso es hacerle una o varias fotos y esto es especialmente cierto si hay un efecto en contraluz intenso... Me gusta esa especie de caos convulso que hay en las pequeñas ramas formadas en presunta anarquía. Me gusta también esa abstracción compleja típica de la naturaleza en algunos casos visualmente seductora...

I take this kind of photos often, especially in the dry season when the trees look mostly like this and the skies are clear or sometimes with cloud splashing the blue... I take these types of photos and sometimes process and post them in color scheme as they are also pretty that way, I find. However, the real “decoding” (I liked that term for this) of all the complexity of the structure of a backlit tree, is perhaps more logical to show in a monochromatic scheme...

Hago este tipo de fotos con frecuencia, especialmente en la estación seca que es cuando los árboles se ven así en su mayoría y los cielos son claros o a veces con nube que salpican el azul... Hago este tipo de fotos y algunas veces las proceso y publico en esquema de colores pues también son bonitas así, me parece. Sin embargo, la verdadera "decodificación" (me gustó ese termino para esto) de toda la complejidad de las estructura de un árbol a contraluz, es quizás más lógica de mostrar en un esquema monocromático...

Another thing I ended up loving about this photographic work today was the selection of a square crop ratio (1:1). It seems to me that there is something of a “sense of control” produced by enclosing this mix of branches, buds and light against within a square visual plane. It's like having a lot of anarchy constrained by the sense of order and control that a square visual plane projects...

Otra cosa que terminé amando de este trabajo fotográfico de hoy, fue el haber seleccionado una proporción de recorte en cuadrado (1:1). Me parece que hay algo de "sensación de control" producida por el hecho de encerrar esta mezcla de ramas, brotes y luz en contra dentro de un plano visual cuadrado. Es como tener un montón anarquía limitado por la sensación de orden y control que un plano visual cuadrado proyecta...

Fantástica serie, es cierto, en la fotografía monocromática las formas son parte fundamental de la composición. También las luces y sombras. Es genial. Adoro la fotografía en blanco y negro.

Lovely shots. What kind of bird nest do you think this is?

Hello @corvidae friend! Thank you for stopping by and appreciating my work... Those nests are of small weaver birds called by the people here “Tutí”... But I don't know their scientific name, I know that they are an insectivorous species of brown color and they are difficult to see, they don't usually enter or leave their nests when they feel human presence near... :(

Hi! I've been busy with life, but thanks for sharing about this bird. I looked it up, is it a gold colored bird with a black head? I also looked up weaver birds and they are closely related to the orioles we had in my backyard in Southern California. I loved orioles, they build super cool hanging nests.

Hello @corvidae friend!... I hope everything is okay!... Well, that black-headed golden one is the African Weaver I suppose and it also flies here during the rainy season... But the bird that makes those nests is more like a small cuckoo... I have also seen oriole nests which are similar, but this one is a small bird (very small compared to the nest) I will try to take a photo of them to show it to you, they are very nervous and abandon the nest or hide as soon as there is human presence, but perhaps it is possible...😃👍

Thanks for staying in touch!... Happy week!

Magnificent choice of black and white for this ... we can truly can focus on the fractal geometry of the trees' structure!
