Sequoia Scale
It’s nearly impossible to capture or convey the scale of a Sequoia tree in any medium. Words can’t capture the imposing and grand feeling they give you; photography doesn’t capture the infinite detail and depth that the massive trunks and branches and needles all have, piercing the bright blue sky beyond. No, trying to tell or show people what the Sequoias are like is a fool’s errand. This picture is a fool’s errand, even if I am pleased that my experiment of combining several landscape and portrait oriented shots worked out so it’s possible to see a whole Sequoia in one photograph. The only way to know a Sequoia is to see one and to drink in its marvelous presence as you spend time exploring a grove of these amazing giant citizens of our planet.
This is a composite shot, created from about 5 different images as captured on a Sony A7rIV and combined in Lightroom to get the ONE tree in the whole frame.
