Tree and Fences

This was the view from our holiday cottage window during our week in The Lake District over New Year. Every day I looked for a way to capture the network of fences and the shape of the tree but something got in the way. And then it snowed and it all made sense. I still felt that the image needed another dimension so I used extreme movements on my view camera to create this effect.

I used a new printing technique here. Firstly I partially toned in sepia but then I toned in gold which created a more variagated tone, intensified the blacks, increased contrast and turned the highlights more orangey.
