My struggle has been very much a 21st century issue that highlights the huge changes in the world in the intervening 160+ years.  The settlers traversed half the world in sailing vessels on a one-way trip for a destination, sight unseen, in the hope of carving out a living. We travel in a warm, ice strengthened vessel with 3 good meals a day, warm showers and a cold beer at the end of a day exploring the wonders. On the 2020 trip we even had limited WiFi to communicate back home. Their challenge was to survive. My challenge has been to find an image that I\u2019m sure is there but that I just seem unable to find to my satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-DSCF7089-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-DSCF7089-web.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo of the Victoria Tree, Auckland Island\" class=\"wp-image-14603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-DSCF7089-web.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-DSCF7089-web.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-DSCF7089-web.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-DSCF7089-web.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Victoria Tree 2016 version<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/archives\/6055\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2016 post<\/a> I shared a number of Black and White images including my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/archives\/6714\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NZ Geographic landscape finalist image<\/a>.  The Southern Rata shapes and textures really lend themselves to high contrast Black and White images and the Victoria Tree is a subject that I think should work well but despite taking a number of images I have just never quite been happy with the results. Wide-angle, especially fish-eye lenses are helpful in capturing the tree and the close surrounding forest trees. It needs some patience to get an opportunity without fellow travellers within the fish-eye 180 degree angle of view and then care not to include your own toes in the frame!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-D5C_1756-2-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-D5C_1756-2-web.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-D5C_1756-2-web.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-D5C_1756-2-web.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-D5C_1756-2-web.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/VictoriaTree-D5C_1756-2-web.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Victoria Tree, 2020 version 1<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On my 2020 visit conditions allowed me to include a sun star but on balance I think I prefer the 2016 version as the curve of moss at the base and textures are nicer.

This final  image is also from 2020 and is similar to the 2016 image but includes more of the canopy and makes use of the ferns and the moss to create lines that lead to the tree and create a figure 8 flow around the image.
