Another perspective of California Oaks in the fog. This was taken the same day as Oaks In The Fog. As I explored the area not only did I find the twisted form of the trees an interesting subject, but the juxtaposition of form became an intriguing concept to experiment with. This is among my favorite of layering the form of the trees into one composition.

California Oaks are a very challenging subject to photograph as the branches jut everywhere and lining up an area of compositional focus can be difficult. For this shot I really wanted to take advantage of the heavy fog to highlight a flat shape of the tree trunk. Opening up the aperture allowed me to keep the depth of field shallow also adding to the effect. With in seconds the fog started to lift enough to reveal more detail on the tree trunk, but I think I like this one best. [...]
