Pine trees, with their powerful branches and unique curved beauty, make picturesque subjects year-round. When bathed in morning or evening light, the shadows on their trunks stand out sharply, creating photographs imbued with a quintessentially Japanese tranquility. Capture the dynamic sweep of its branches with a wide-angle lens, or isolate the delicate texture of its needles with a telephoto. Pairing the pine's silhouette against a backdrop of sky or water adds depth to landscape photos, making it a subject well worth taking the time to photograph.
