Introduced to the UK from the west of America in the 1850s Calocedrus decurrens (incense cedar) creates a narrow evergreen tree. When mature the bark cracks to produce an attractive brown trunk.

An evergreen conifer native to western North America, Calocedrus decurrens (incense cedar, white cedar) attracted attention due to the glossy green, flattened sprays of scale like leaves tipped with pollen cones. The tree has a narrow columnar habit, with beautiful orange and grey flaking bark. The foliage smells amazing when crushed, sometimes described as similar to shoe polish! Jill Raggett

Guest Viewings in Yosemite National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking up and to the southwest while taking in views of nearby Incense Cedar or Calocedrus trees (as identified by PictureThis app). What I wanted to do in capturing this image was the look up with the nearby bark and focus on that. Closing down on the aperture allowed me to have more of the image in focus from near to far. While the main focus of the image was the nearby bark in the cedar tree, I also felt it important to complement that with the tree crown and skies above.

What I'm Watching With My Camera Lens (Yosemite National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: In the Swinging Bridge Picnic area of Yosemite Valley and the national park with a view looking up and to the southwest to two nearby Incense Cedar trees. This grouping had a symmetry to it that I used in composing the image. The rest was a matter of metering the image to not blow any highlights with the bright skies above while still being able to pull the more shadowed areas of the underside of the tree crown and trunk leading up to that.
