The Burmis Tree Captured on Antique Camera Argus C3
This wraps up my three part exposure on The Burmis Tree. My goal wasn’t so much to capture a unique angle of the tree. As it’s hundred of years old its inevitably been photographed from every vantage point. Being as the Argus C3, the model T of cameras, was such a popular model, I’m sure many taken with it are floating about as well.
I shot this with Ilford Panf 50.
If you missed it, here’s my digital capture and the one I took with my Yashica Mat 124 medium format TLR
The Burmis Tree Revisited in HDR
The first time I shot The Burmis Tree was also this yeah, except I had done it on medium format film, using my Yachica Mat 124 and expired Agfa film.
I was in love with that shot, especially because the sky came out so well when scanning it into my Epson V500.
When I returned I knew I wanted a telephoto shot and I wanted it in HDR. I also knew using my flimsy (and now slightly bent) tripod was going to make a steady shot difficult.
I was blessed with calm skies and beautiful clouds. It was my intention to bring the background in with my focal length and beyond that I just wanted to nail the exposure(s).
The burmis tree is estimated to be seven hundred years old and died in the 1970′s. In both of my renditions of the tree, I have photoshoped out the poll propping the tree in place.
