Hola, Bellas Fotografías , Los Árboles Son My Pasión , Protejo Un Inmenso Bosque Al Lado De Mi Casa , Y He Plantado Miles De Ellos Durante Mi Vida. Enhorabuena. Un Saludo.
Your photos always have a wonderful lightness to them. Makes me think about writers who work with walking—Sebald comes to mind, but others as well. Lovely.
I look forward to reading it! I often feel like I am floating from image to image when I move through your images. As if I'm floating over your shoulder.
Well, now, I have to add to the above comments! I never get tired of photographing trees; I love trees; in the days of my husband’s healthy life, he was a horticulturist & dendrologist; at one time we joined a group of tree lovers on Saturday morning walks identifying trees.
Susanne, you have certainly sparked the attention of several tree-lovers & you have enthused me to start writing again & exploring my collection of trees. A big
What a beautiful collection, Susanne. I have many favorites- the fungi, the arrows, the criss crossing branches, the leaf on the stump. To me, walking in nature with a camera is one of the biggest joys in life.
These are wonderful, Susanne. I love the graysclae, the textures, the pure blacks and the bright whites, the abstractions and the patterns in these natural settings. Beautiful set!
What a wonderful comment! Very sweet of you to say! I have to admit, there are days this approach feels very natural and the mindset comes easy and on other days it is not working at all. This was one of the better days!
Wonderfully meditative photos. The sum of its parts, by which I mean the photos mean more by being a part of a series. And this is why I like Substack because it gives the chance to develop a thoughtful series (unlike social media platforms).
Yes! That is the idea of my visual journal. It is about the experience as a whole and not to post this one awesome photo. So grateful to be able to do this here and have an audience who gets it!
Thank you for your feedback! As for the bokeh - for a photo like this, I usually use a f 2.8 to f4 to blur the background. I am not a fan or better I am too lazy to learn how to do that in Lightroom. It is not for me...
Thank you, Marcel! And I think time and time again, that the Ricoh is helping too. Carrying it around instead of a 3 kilo DSLR is taking away a lot of pressure. Not only from my body, but from my mind as well. There is less pressure to go home with a bunch of new images. It is so amazing...
hmmm, i don't know what to say right now. let's try this:
1. great photos, beautiful collection of images, well put together. love them ❤️
2. here is my confusion/hesitating part: yesterday i scheduled my next post with a subject similar with yours 😊
3. well, maybe great minds think alike 😁
Hmmm, let me try to answer:
1. Thank you very much! ❤️
2. Where is the confusion? There are never enough photos of nature/trees. I am looking forward to your post!
3. They sure do! 😉
Always great to see different angles! 😉

Thank you so much! Good to know you care so much about them!

Thank you for your feedback. Interestingly, I am actually working on an essay how walking and photography is connected for me! ☺️

‘Thank you! ‘
Lynette, I am moved. Thank you for sharing this bit of your life. Having inspired you with my photographs really made my day! Thank you!
Beautiful
What a beautiful collection, Susanne. I have many favorites- the fungi, the arrows, the criss crossing branches, the leaf on the stump. To me, walking in nature with a camera is one of the biggest joys in life.
Thanks, Mary! Just imagine a life without trees? It would be so empty and joyless. I am so thankful that I have easy access to Nature where I live...
Beautiful! I never tire of trees either.
There is nothing like just walking ..... with a camera. A lovely collection Susanne
These are wonderful, Susanne. I love the graysclae, the textures, the pure blacks and the bright whites, the abstractions and the patterns in these natural settings. Beautiful set!
Thank you, Xavi! The patterns of Nature never cease to amaze and the black and white helps to emphasize this so well. Happy you enjoyed them!
Beautiful. I have been taking this mindset on my walks and wow - you’re revealed to a whole other world out there!

I LOVE the close-up shot of the tree with fungi! A simple, but gorgeous capture!
Thank you! I was totally fascinated by the amount of these tiny fungi overtaking that whole little tree.

Nice photos. I especially like this one: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F353615dc-e0ac-4335-96b2-67b055f7b2bf_1600x2000.jpeg?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
I'm trying to master the art / craft of the bokeh. Lightroom has an AI assistant for that now.
Did you do yours in post-processing or in- camera using fast apperture?
Thank you for your feedback! As for the bokeh - for a photo like this, I usually use a f 2.8 to f4 to blur the background. I am not a fan or better I am too lazy to learn how to do that in Lightroom. It is not for me...
Just photographing what attracts your eye often gets the best results. As itnwas this time as well.

Thank you, Pamela!
Love your work Susanne, and love trees!
