Southern oak with hanging moss

During an assignment in South Carolina, we selected this spot for the shoot which included this great looking farmhouse and the huge southern oak with hanging moss … sometimes called Spanish moss. I was so impressed with the size of this tree, that I wanted to capture it in it’s entirety, but the most interesting view was the tighter shot with the house, the truck, and the low hanging moss.

The magnitude of the tree had to be captured because it was too large to adequately describe it to others Larry Shapiro photo

From the same vantage point as the wide shot, a longer lens created this image which is much more compelling. Larry Shapiro photo
