Galen's Tree
This tree is one that Galen Rowell made famous when he skied into the Patriarch Grove in the winter to photograph the trees with the winter sun. The late afternoon sun doesn't hit this grove in the summer due to a mountain to the west. I tried to add my own version of "magic light" to this ole gal to light her up properly. She really is a special tree with a massive cork-screw branch. The northern arch of the Milky Way can be seen above the tree
Galen's image can be seen here (third one down): vault.sierraclub.org/books/photos/
Sony A7S, Rokinon 24mm f/1.4, 13s at ISO6400. Can't remember the f-stop. Probably f/2.8 for DoF. Single exposure with light painting
