This is another image in the Law School Court yard at Cornell. I think this is an image that looks better larger. I like how the shadows and light played on the tree. On the left with a dark background the tree has the sun reflecting off the branches, while on the other side of the tree shadows darken the branches. I also like the dark shadows on the bright wall behind the tree.
It's been a while since we have had sun, so maybe that's why it stood out to me.
Lesson Learned:
- I'm beginning to get away from trying to capture whole objects. I think sometimes it's more important to capture just an interesting portion of an object. (Although this photo doesn't represent the lesson as well.)
Photo details: Exposure time 1/1600 sec, Aperture f/2.8, ISO 400, Focal Length 98 mm, Lens Canon 70-200mm f2.8L USM, handheld.

Look awesome! I like all your recent B&Ws, they all look really good.
I agree with your lesson statement, and this is nice subject for monochrome.
I also am learning not worrying about catching everything, just the interesting portion as you put it. Really good catch.
Love the tonal range on this b/w - great building with many textures and shadows - a very interesting composition! Beautiful!
I love this image! Would be great to blow it up so it covers an entire wall.
