more bristlecone pines on White Mtn
Here's another couple of images from the set I captured a couple weeks ago. I really like the brooding atmosphere from the overcast and drizzle. I shot these in color, but they were VERY dark and low key due to the poor light and my hand holding my camera. Unfortunately I left the tripod in the truck, so I had to use too short exposures to limit camera shake. When I stretched the exposure in Adobe Camera Raw the colors did not look natural. What to do?
Convert them to black and white!

According to Wikipedia 
The presence is amazing. I feel like I'm right there.
Perhaps the flat lighting did great things.
Great stuff,
The black and white conversion is beautiful.
Thanks!
Once again, I remind myself and others to set your monitor at full brightness to view photos.
I sometimes forget and have to redo the adjustments I made.
Have you read "Trees" by Feininger?
I think I got a copy at a second-hand book store.
Amazing things.
Almost all his photos were taken with a Rolleiflex. Cover with a Linhof 5x7
These are just fantastic, and of course, the ones in your SmugMug group are even better! How can it be possible, when the posted ones exceed my expectations???
Thank you so much for your inspiring work!
