After Dark Photo
Desolation...
On the last night of the 2008 Mono Lake Night Photography workshop we had a "free play" if you will. We split apart from the group and set out to explore whatever we could get our tripods next to.
East of Hwy 395, down the 120 east several miles, there is a burnt up forest that sits high above Mono Lake. In between the edge of the living forest and teh burnt one is a long stretch of sand. Curiously, in this sand there was one Pine tree all alone.
I couldn't resist....
SO....the scoop on the shot since that's all most people care about anyway, unless you are visiting Chaybert's photostream and then you are there for the novellas.
EXIF:
Canon 40d
Sigma 10-20mm @ 12mm
ISO 200
f/5.6 @ 20-4 minute frames (total time=4800 secs)
Stacked images in startrails.exe
Full moon and tree lit with a surefire flashlight
A little clean up was done on the foreground as an experiment.....you can see the difference in the desaturated version
