Methuselah Tree II

In developing a roll of film yesterday (my first home-developed roll of C-41 color!), I came across this alternate view of the Summit Valley Methuselah tree. I took it from nearly the same vantage point as my first image, but with a different camera, different film, on a different day, at a different time of day, and with different weather and light. Whereas the first photo highlights the tree's age, strength, and mythic nature, this second image seems to emphasize its vitality and eternal youth. Two pictures and two trees from parallel universes, perhaps? Just presented to you, as Rod Serling used to say on The Twilight Zone, “for your consideration.”

 

Camera: Kodak Tourist II (1951-1958, with Kodet 86mm f/12.5 lens).

 

Film: Lomography 100 ISO Color Negative 120 rolled onto a 620 spool, developed using The Film Photography Project's C-41 Home Processing Kit, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.
