I spent the night in the parking lot of the Grove of the Patriarchs, deep in the White Mountains of Eastern California. This was my last shot of the night.
Wow Edie. That is a spectacular shot. I love the colors. So rich! Did you light up the tree or was that natural?
Dave,
I used a Maglite flashlight to paint the tree. In this case, I walked around the tree and painted it from different angles. Luckily there was a waxing moon, 1st quarter. That gave me enough light to move from spot to spot without having to light my way.
Interesting shot Edie! Lord of the Rings?
Mike;
You aren’t the only one to reference LoTR; FTW, he’s implying that’s an Ent.
