October 2026 - Bark from a Gum Tree
About the Image(s)
This is from my first photo walk with my new Canon R6 Mk11 body. I’d accidentally locked the settings & could only shoot in P or auto mode. Once I was back in reception I was able to sort it out but it’s a big learning curve.
This is the bark from a gum tree.

Figuring out a new camera takes a while. Cameras have so many options and choices nowdays with esoteric menu descriptions. I like the texture and vertical lines of the bark. I don't think I have ever seen a gum tree. Posted: 10/08/2026 16:25:48
Thanks Dean. It is a work in progress. I'm discovering new things most shoots.
As for gum trees- they are so common over here. In dry conditions they will drop their bark. I may have to find a scribbly gum for you :) Posted: 10/10/2026 04:06:22
