Introduction

I had noticed an intriguing hole in the side of a large willow tree in the middle of a roundabout on Fairfax Road, near Swiss Cottage. I thought it might make a useful addition to my inventory of images for this project so I went there and photographed it.

Technique

Once again I attempted bracketing and focus stacking this image. Not a panorama this time fortunately because I saw it more as a smaller final image.

The image

This image seems fairly uninteresting on the surface, but I had in mind that I could use this in a composite. My project is concerned with looking beneath the surface

Conclusion

I'm learning to balance efficiency with the desire to hoover up as many images as possible when at a location. This image could and should have been shot in a fraction of the time. Also, I didn't succeed very well in recreating the initial iPhone shot because the original shot was taken on an overcast day in the evening. The high-res images were taken on a brighter day at about noon.
