The road up to Patriarch Grove in the Ancient Bristlecone forest just opened, so we started the season out with a crazy, spinning, 3-axis timelapse move. I love that place. Seriously.

"Les vieux ça n'était pas original
Quand ils s'essuyaient machinal
D'un revers de manche les lèvres
Mais ils savaient tous à propos
Tuer la caille ou le perdreau
Et manger la tomme de chèvre"
"They said to one another, ‘Truly we are being called to account for our brother. We saw his misery of soul when he begged our mercy, but we did not listen to him and now this misery has come home to us.’ Reuben answered them, ‘Did I not tell you not to wrong the boy? But you did not listen, and now we are brought to account for his blood.’ They did not know that Joseph understood, because there was an interpreter between them. He left them and wept."
– Genesis 41:17-24, which is part of today's 1st reading at Mass.

My fixer exhausted on this roll. I threw the film back in and sloshed it around a bunch, but you can still see feint sprocket streaks in the sky on this image.
More to come... one more 35mm then three 4x5's. Probably gonna post one a day since several of my groups allow only one photo per day.
Ancient Bristlecone Pine Natural History
I'd like to try capturing this one on 4x5. I know the general area where I took the photograph, but since I went off-trail for most of the roll, I'm not exactly certain of the location.
Founder Patriarch of historic route 66 Association Angel Delgadillo on his bike. Aside from founding the historic Route 66 association Angel is also a real life barber and one hell of a nice gentleman.
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
I love these old woodlands and what caught my eye here was the contrast between the decaying old tree stump and the younger saplings all gathered round - like young braves hanging on every word of wisdom coming from an elderly tribal statesman.

The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
Court of the Patriarchs, framed by a large cottonwood tree, in Zion National Park. Photographed in September. The three peaks on the right form the Patriarchs--"Abraham", "Isaac", and "Jacob". (Scanned from 6x7cm Fujichrome transparency film; file #: Zion-Court-of-Patriarchs_SZIO0592.jpg)
“The Ark” project was the first attempt of mass colonization of planets outside Solar system. But it was just partly successful. Only third parts of all ships established proper colonies. Some gossips say the real purpose of project was just to get rid of excess population. A few years after the last launch of Ark revolution in hyperspace travelling happened. New hyperdrives were more powerful, faster, reliable, cheaper. So it was possible to establish regular supply lines between new colonies. So there was no need in looking for an ideal world. Colony can be founded everywhere near the source of some valuable resource.
New colonization project was called “Legacy”. It was based on fleets of smaller ships instead of one huge ship as before. “Patriarch” spacecraft was designed to carry fast deployable modules of a new colony. Habitats, industrial facilities, power plants. Everything that is needed to start building. All modules can function on the surface of planet and in space. At first group of engineers constructs small outpost on the planet, builds foundations for landing modules, and after that they are dropped off the orbit. They have their own engines for soft precise landing. Ship’s reactor can also be used as a power plant of settlement. In this case ship stays in orbit and will be deconstructed in future.
Last, but not the least. Big problem of the Ark was in its colonists. It’s very hard to keep billions of people alive in cryosells. Patriarchs have incubation facilities onboard and huge stock of genetic material. The idea is to grow most of population of a new colony artificially. DNA can be modified to provide better adaptability in case of hazardous environment. Moreover, by default all defects, random mutations and genetic illnesses were deleted from genetic material. Should I say it had serious consequences in future?

Been a while since I've shot anything under the stars it seems. I've always found it difficult to get a view point of all three patriarchs without having A LOT of trees in the way- i think this is one of the better spots. This shot is 121 images stacked with each image at:

Middle Byzantine mosaic (12th century) of (eastern) Roman emperor Ioannes II Komnenos (1118-1143), together with his wife empress Eirene, of Hungarian origin.
The Hagia Sophia is one of the architectural wonders of the world. Its construction finished in 537 after a staggering 5 years of building under emperor Justinianus of the (easter) Roman Empire, also known under its name the Byzantine Empire. Its inhabitants would never use this term and always refer to their identity, ethnicity, culture and empire as Roman, no matter their Greek language and Christian Orthodox religion.
Although the construction almost ruined the state coffers at the time, it remained (with intermittant repairs and additions) for a thousand of years the largest, most splendid and spiritual church of the world. With all its marble, gold mosaics and magnificent domes and galeries, visitors could not belief it to be built by mortal hands. But it was here where emperors were crowned, foreign ambassadors were impressed, varangian (viking) guards attended boring masses (hence the ruinic script in some columns), patriarchs refused emperors and excommunicated papal legates, and where people found a last, dreading refugee during times of assault. The Hagia Sophia was intimately connected to the great imperial palace next to it, and it was the centre of religious and political power of the eastern mediterranean and Europe. Its symbological power was so significant, that foreign powers sought to subdue it and incorporate it into their own.
During 1204 and 1261, it was a catholic cathedral after the short lived crusader conquest. The crusaders added the flying butresses for extra support. After the restoration under the Roman Empire by the Palaiologans, it continued to be the celebrated orthodox cathedral until 1453, when Mehmed conquered Constantinople and made it the grand mosque of his new Islamic, Ottoman Empire. Four new minarets were soon added to mark this transformation. The buildings remains a highly contested symbol. Atatürk made of it a museum in the 1930s to recognize its multicultural origin in a new, secular Turkish republic. But it has been reconverted into a mosque since the rightist policies under Erdogan in 2020, emphasizing its price as an Ottoman conquest and unfortunately obscuring its most significant past.
This old male ruled over a herd of around 30 ibex ..
Strangely it had no necklace. A large part of the adult ibexes of the Bargy Chain have an identification necklace, put by the French Office of Biodiversity (OFB), in order to monitor their health in relation with the spread of brucellosis disease, largely affecting the local ibex population, with a risk of contamination of local cattle.
On the Park shuttle early morning, wonderful time to get a shot of The Three Patriarchs from the observation point. Such a beautiful morning we walked to the next stop.
So many stars and so little time. I took two different week-long trips this year to shoot night skies. On this trip, I and my two adventurous friends set out searching dark skies along California's Eastern Sierra. The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is actually to the east, in the White Mountains, and The Patriarch Grove is at the end of the gravel road 11,000 feet high. Turned out we were not alone that night - we shared the mountain with a weekend workshop of stargazing photographers plus a few others. And it was a lovely pleasant quiet night at that high elevation - it could have been windy and bitterly cold.
Tech stuff: Plenty of planes flew through this 100-minute exposure sequence but they're thankfully mostly lost in the star trails. Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 14mm F2.8L at F2.8, ISO 2000, 30sec x 194 exposures, stacked with Startrails.exe.
The rosy clouds of dawn only lasted for couple of minutes before the sunshine lightened the court of patriarchs.

I've parked about 3 miles south of the Lodge and just north of "The Three Patriarchs". With the help of a flashlight, I've walked down to the bank of the Virgin River and find a spot that looks promises in both directions in regard to formations. A sat and waited. About 8:00 am, the sun began to lighten the sky above the formations to the north.

I'm busy with a major project this week , so I'm re-posting this image:
Last rays of the setting sun. This autumn scene was photographed in mid-November). The three peaks on the left form the Patriarchs--"Abraham", "Isaac", and "Jacob".
Post-processing techniques: Some have mentioned that they thought I radically increase my saturation in Photoshop to create these images. Not so. I rarely add more that 5% to 10% saturation in my processing. The real key to rich colors comes from increasing the contrast in "Curves". I often protect (using a feathered mask) the most delicate highlights before I do the contrast increase. These "protected" contrast increases are sometimes called "micro-contrast" or local-area contrast increases; they increase accentuation and detail throughout the image.
I make these increases in contrast AFTER I've created a master image that compresses the original scene's contrast range. This is done by blending the exposure of up to seven images (from -2.0EV to +2.0EV). And before doing this, I often open the shadows and recover the highlights from my original RAW files. This total process can sometimes take up to two hours (if I really like the image :)
For a richer experience, click on the image to view it LARGER and on black.
From the parking lot of the 11,000 foot high Patriarch Grove in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, White Mountains east of Bishop, CA.The light pollution at the horizon simply amazes me: to the west (right) is Bishop which actually isn't that far away. But the two pockets to the east (left) I can only guess. There's nothing near in that direction - Beatty NV is about maybe 70 miles away, and Las Vegas at least 150 miles! Or Tonopah would be more northeast, perhaps 70 miles away, which makes sense.
