Today a tree outside our apartment patio abruptly fell just like that neatly uprooted at the base as if cut by a saw. First time I and my wife are seeing something as bizzare as this. No wind, no rain just a sound and its down. Today morning thought of capturing it in pixels. How often do you come across a uprooted tree lying horizontally outside our patio. The tree was kind of old. Hence thought of putting a spin on it by placing a budding potted of ours near that to give a perception of life and how it begins in one and ends in other and keeps going on.
Had to shoot with small aperture to get everything in focus and heavily underexposed and reduced flash compensation to prevent the morning sky getting washed away in the picture while trying to get the tree's bark a bit darker still showing some details. Hence had to use flash for the plants. Albeit a bit harsh, flash conveys the intent of emphasizing on the newly forming life blossoming over the faded old tree giving hope of life. A sun-light-reflector would have given more soft light for the plants.
