Branching Out
I visited Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest for the first time in 2015, but I had no time to do nightscapes. Ever since, this place was very high on my bucket list. In August 2017, after a crazy drive from Lassen Volcanic NP, I was finally able to visit these ancient beauties again for some night shooting.
As expected, I was not alone, but fortunately the other photographers present were very experienced nightscapers and so we were able to work side by side without disturbing each other. When I asked if any of them had something against me illuminating the foreground with Low Level Lighting, they all immediately agreed that it was more than fine with them. So I finally got the shots I have been longing for so long...
EXIF
- Astro-modified Canon EOS 6D
- Samyang 24mm f/1.4
- iOptron SkyTracker
- Low Level Lighting with 2 LED panels
Foreground:
Stack of 3 x 50s @ ISO1600
Sky:
Stack of 3 x 50s @ ISO1600, tracked
Thanks for all your faves and comments.
