Northern Forest | Images of Silviculture

Maturing cones, 2013 | Grand fir (Abies grandis) | Photo: E. R. Wilson

Trees and woodlands often make fantastic subjects for photography. This page contains images from research projects, field trips and explorations in temperate and boreal (northern) forests. The galleries showcase actively-managed woodlands and forest landscapes that, in their own way, can be quite beautiful. 

Information about the use of images and technical specifications are here.

Technical information

Image use: Requests to use photographs are welcome. Larger format and high resolution images can be provided free for educational purposes; a fee may apply for commercial uses. Unless otherwise stated, all images are copyright Edward R.

Technical note: Most of the images here, and on this website, were taken with the following cameras: Nikon F80 (SLR), Nikon F100 (SLR), Nikon D3100 (DSLR), Sony SLT-A77V (DSLR). Lenses include fixed focal length and zoom models by Nikon, Sony and Sigma. As a back-up, I also use a Canon Digital Ixus 70, which still gives good results. My favoured kit is the Nikon F100 + 50 mm lens. For many years, I used slide (colour positive) films, especially Agfa RSX 100 (Agfa Precisa 100/200 as alternatives). Since the demise of Agfa, I have switched to Kodak print (colour negative) film; Color Plus 200 film produces a slightly grainy and “retro” image. Films are processed and scanned to disk, then edited with Adobe Photoshop and/or MS Photo Manager. Image processing and editing is kept to a minimum to present the images first and foremost in their technical or scientific context.
