Image Description:: The trees were tall and their trunks formed vertical parallel lines. As opposed to this, the thin short branches growing outwards from the trunks were more or less horizontal. I wanted to capture and show the perpendicular lines - verticals formed by the trunks and horizontals by their own branches. But there was one difficulty. The trunks were thick and tall whereas the branches were thin and short. If I were to emphasize on the tall trunks (choosing relatively wider focal lengths), the branches would look too insignificant and be lost in the frame. And viceversa was true if I were to zoom in and emphasize on smaller horizontal branches.
Just for some fun, I decided to try some in-camera multiple exposures. Multiple exposures also meant that I could shoot and different focal lengths on same frame! I mounted my 70-300mm lens and set the camera to multiple exposure mode (with number of exposures = 3). The first of the three exposures was shot at around 70 mm and the following two were exposed close to 200 mm (this throws the weight towards the longer focal lengths – i.e. telephoto range).
Later on while post-processing, I decided to converted it to black & white; played around with colour sliders which enhanced the foggy look and feel.

All thoughts welcome...
