Forest photography can be tough with scenes that often appear cluttered and chaotic at first view. Even in the most beautiful forests finding a composition from the smallest scene or lone tree to something wider can take patience and effort along with an open mind to what you might find. I will share my successes and challenges with forest and tree photography over the years. As someone who grew up surrounded by trees as a child, I find being around them not only enjoyable for photography but beneficial to our well-being.
