The lone tree

In between Ripon and Harrogate sits this tree. It sits next to the National Trust sites of How Hill Cottages and the famous Fountains Abbey. It has people from all over the world coming to take pictures of it, including some famous photographers.

One professional photographer from the local area is Steve Gosling when he has time he will go and take pictures of this tree. Here is a video from Lee Filters YouTube Chanel of Steve using the filters and the tree as a focal point, skip to 8.50mins to see the tree. Lee filters and the tree

I have visited the tree many times now after discovering it by accident one day. It is a great place to learn how to use filters.

Even when not using my camera and filters I have stopped and taken pictures with my phone and no filters are needed at time.

Using Lee filters big stopper and 0.6 hard grad give some great tones and cloud movement.

I have even ventured here at night to get star trails behind the tree.
