Perseverance
This is one of my favorite photos of this past summer. The photo is not really spectacular or anything like that, but this Ancient Bristlecone Pine looks like it has borne the weight of the world for millennia. I suspect it is several millennia old at least. It has taken all the abuse the earth could throw at it yet it persists, bent but not broken. In fact it seems to be quite healthy with a lot of foliage not shown here. Is there any better life lesson to learn? ________________________________________________ Low Level Lightening (LLL) used for lighting. A single Cineroid LED light panel was used, set on a 10 ft. (3 meter) light stand about 100 feet (30 meters) away, off to the left side. The light was turned all the way to low and set at a relatively neutral to slightly warm color temperature of 4200K. ________________________________________________11 light frames and one dark frame stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker. 14-24 mm lens, 20 mm, f/2.8, ISO 8000.
