Sidelight on Bristlecones

Bristlecone Pine Forest, CA

 

Since dark and moody, better on black (click on the image)

 

This was in the opposite direction from my previous post. Dark storm clouds were coming in from the southeast, and one was dropping rain in the Owens valley, all the while the setting sun was cutting through clouds over the Sierra and lighting things up the way you see here. This is why I love landscape photography! One gets to witness the greatest shows on earth, and actually be a participant. Cameras are for catching memories, and on rare ocassions, be able to inspire others with images. This represents one of my best captures, at least in my own estimation, but I hope you it enables you to share in a small way what I was overwhelmed with.

This is a single exposure, with no HDR, but a lot of effort in photoshop to tame the lighting.

Thank you for your visit and interest in my work.
