Live Oak Collage

I've wanted to play around with making photo collages for a while. Since moving to Texas, I've been overwhelmed with how to try and photograph the live oaks down here. (The larger trees form cave-like areas underneath their branches. From a distance, the intricate limbs are tough to pick out, and when you're close, the scene is too large for a typical photo.)  On my trip to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge last week, I came across this cluster of trees on the aptly named Big Oak Trail. I've shot a few more and will post any that turn out OK once I get the time to edit them.

James Balog put out a great book that provided some inspiration here.
