Wes Warner, The Textures and Colours of an Australian Summer (May theme: Texture)
I found inspiration from one of Steve Parish's - Gum Trees - Coast to Coast. Armed with my nifty 50mm, I found a range of gum trees with striking colours that I shot just after sunrise. The variety of flora we have and how it changes throughout the season and the day is incredible.
