It sure is looking good and even better in the flesh (bark). The photograph is pretty good too

I had only seen pictures online before my first visit to the NBPCA recently and was blown away by the size and health of Ted's costata. To give everyone a better perspective of the size, here is a photo of me checking out the structure;

Here is todays shot of Teds Angophora costata.

Leigh Taafe has been doing a lot of the photography and is still out there getting a better shot.

Oh, I am loving this!!

I think you have a few "noise" issues. Any chance of yelling out to Leigh to drop the ISO setting down a bit? I'd leave that slatted board under it too, to give a baseline for visual reference. The tree may appear to be "floating" without it, I like that look, many don't though...

Mind if I attempt some post processing on your image?

Ditto Steven I think that is about exactly what I said when I saw it

No, go ahead. We are still learning here and trying out a different set up in the studio. We are doing one of Quentins now and then Craigs.

Sorry, took me a few hours, wanted to preserve every leaf.

Hope Ted likes it.

Nice work Mitchell,

Any chance you could send it to nbpca@bigpond.com

Thanks mate,
Leigh.

After completeing the PP I realised I stuffed up. I used the small web version of the image, not the full sized. Hence you can't enlarge my attempt. Would you like me to redo this on the larger version, so you can re-size to what-ever?

Sent this image, I will await a responce before I start on the larger version.

Thanks Mitchell, I will check it when I get back to the office. Thanks for that!

Leigh.

Slightly brighter.

Hi all,

The Angophora is doing very well and is going through a bark shedding phase.

Enjoy

Wow, the bark on that one looks amazing. Im hoping my little one becomes like that some day. Thanx for the pics.

Thank you for posting that guy's. A world class Aussie Native Hope you are proud of the job you are doing. Betcha Ted is.

Excellent work, Id be very proud if it were mine.
Just a pleasure to see. Thanks for sharing with us.

Very beautiful phase indeed.

It's like an exotic dance, gradually undressing.

Ted has let us keep it for another year so he must be happy.
