I took this shot just a few weeks ago when I was exploring at Alexo. There are some massive old aspen trees in the forest around the old mine site. It rained while I was out there and as a result the bark of the tree is partly wet, and the light was very subdued. I shot this on Ilford FP4 film, processed in HC-110 Developer, for a boost in contrast. That really pumped things up nicely. I used a longer focal length 300mm lens on my view camera to get some compression, but allowed the background to soften a little. I think it worked out well.
