The tree makes fine subject and the sky gives it an eerie, haunting effect. Well seen and captured. Cheers, -Clayton

Wow Josh. I love the lighting on the tree. The lack of light on the rocks really make it stand out. The movement of the clouds adds a great punch. Nicely done!

Well seen and outstandingly captured. Simply beautiful. Congratulations. Karl

one of any artist's most glorious flight of imagination!!! superb capture! regards!

Very Nice Josh

Hi Josh,

 

I really like this. I wonder if you'd share how you managed to acheived this shot?

I imagine we are looking at a long exposure (at least 30 sec or more) but how did you light the tree? did you use an off camera flash or a torch to paint in the light on the tree.

 

Best regards

absolutely i can share how i made this shot. it was near a full moon. so the sky was real bright. it was about a 2 minute shot. i wanted to catch some streaking of the clouds. i had a simple maglight flash light. i shined the light on the tree constantly moving the light for about 10 seconds. it took a few tries to balance the exposure. i used the flashlight instead of a flash mainly because of the color. the orange light contrasting against the real blue sky. it was also a softer light which wouldn't give the harsh shadow edge the strobe would create.

 

Thanks for the comments

Josh, thanks for the explanation. This gives inspiration for experiments. Karl

That is the name of the method. Masterpiece.

wonderful light and moving clouds, makes the image surreal, cheers Jana

well planned and beautifully executed, fine work indeed.

The beautiful sculptural tree really stands out against the background. Super light and colour and a great image. Regards, Tina.
