During a conversation I had with with someone they mentioned the existence of a large iconic oak tree in a park near downtown Tallahassee. This got my attention as I would be visiting Tallahassee for a few weeks and would have my camera with me. I started researching and found the tree they were talking about was the Lichgate on High Road Oak Tree.
This oak tree is located in a small oasis in the middle of apartments, homes and retail shopping centers. It is a popular place for people to come and enjoy the solitude and ambiance of the small park. I wanted to try and capture this oak in a creative manner that would show its size but also make the photo interesting. I decided to try and use a low sun coming through the trees to create a sunburst to give the image some additional interest. All in all I liked the final results and feel the image invites people to go see the tree in person.
