This is an area of Photography I really struggle with. So I’m interested to learn if anyone has any good tips for capturing photos of trees.
It’s winter here in the UK and most of the trees are now leafless.
Grateful for any thoughts.

Some great food for thought - and some ideas that I hadn’t considered before - esp. about the mood I’m trying to convey.
Your comments about taking lots of photos makes good sense - with a few batteries and a couple of sd cards, I could take hundreds of photos - and maybe if I see one that I like, I can return to explore more of the same.
Many thanks for the great tips.
Get some photos of street lights viewed through bare tree branches. The effect is pretty cool.
I’ll bear it in mind, thanks. Is this something that you’ve done?
This may or may not help, but in winter, when trees are leafless, I usually do most of my forest photography in stark monochrome. It brings out the harshness of the season and kinda works with the relative lack of color they have compared to when they’re leafy.
I’m in VA so trees are like subtropical/super leafy during spring/summer/fall then they get barren in winter like now.
Thanks, sounds like a good idea. I’ll definately try that.
