Requiem for a Tree...
Clouds move through the air during this two-minute-long exposure in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest...
Some of these dead trees have been standing for well over 2500 years...
The entire scene was lit by a half-moon off to the west... I used a small halogen torch to help illuminate the tree briefly during the exposure...

thanks for looking.

Very cool sky effects from the long exposure Mac, plus they are drifting in just the right direction, they seem to pull the eye into your image. Very nice night work, I hope to be up the this Sept doing the same thing.
Mac Danzig  Thanks, Doug. Good luck with the September trip... Can't wait to see your shots...
