Wind and quaking aspen leaves

Can you hear the wind? Long exposure on a stable tripod. I hesitated to leave this up last year, but assumed on Sliders Sunday folks might feel more lenient, even though I did little to the photo.

 

Only the wind moved on this cloudy day. Aspen leaves "quake" or tremble in the wind. The pink leaves came from a fruit tree of some sort.

 

About as shot from RAW. The camera and lens and Nikon 2x teleconverter were on a heavy duty tripod using a Jobu-Design gimbal head.

 

I adore these leaves and trees. But this is the first time I've let the strong wind determine the photo.

 

*In January 2022 I asked for help, and a Flickr support hero removed my accounts from the Explore algorithm.
