Light Tree

Light Tree is one of two hand manipulated photographs of trees that were recently shown at the Photo-Arte gallery in Southgate. Twenty two photographers took part, exploring a wide range of techniques & subjects.
This image, photographed along one of my many walking routes in Cheshire, is heavily hand manipulated and there is little left of the original photograph apart from some blue from the sky, yellow form, the field, branches from the tree and general outline; so photograph is probably an inappropriate description, the photograph having been more of a springboard for the manipulation.
Work from Nick and four of the other photographers from the show has been selected to go on the Photo-Arte gallery website due to go on line on 1 Nov at: http://www.lupecunha.co.uk/photo-arte.html
