Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in the Patriarch Grove in the White Mountains in California

Time

Late at night

Lighting

We used light painting to light the tree which otherwise would have been a shilouette

Equipment

Nikon D700 with a 24-70 lens on a tripod

Inspiration

The Milky Way was spectacular and the bristle cone pines prehistoric and creepy looking

Editing

I did some adjustment layers to increase the contrast and lighten the tree

In my camera bag

Nikon d700, 24-70 and 28-300 mm lens, nikon sb900 flash

Feedback

this was a 30 sec exposure with wide open f2.8 at iso 2500
