These are some pictures I took of a lone tree in the middle of a field on the way up to Palisades, ID. I took pictures from several different angles to capture many different perspectives of the tree.
I placed the car in the background of the below picture to humanize the tree and show scale.
This next picture was done using a roots texture. I brought the photo of the lone tree I took into Photoshop as well as another picture I found on textures.com. I first put the picture of the tree roots on top of my picture and changed it’s opacity. I then used the overlay blending mode and a mask to get rid of the parts of the roots texture I didn’t want.
Here is the roots texture I used:
