Dogwood, Yosemite National Park
1/50 sec at f/8, focal length: 200mm, ISO 100 - May 3, 2008, 2:43pm PDT
Photographed with Canon EOS 20D, Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II, tripod mounted
I know that it's quite the opposite of spring right now, but I came across this image and decided that I needed to post it before I forget about it again.
My dad and I were spending the afternoon hiking around the Mirror Lake Loop. Dogwood were just peaking but since it was the afternoon on a "beautiful", clear, sunny day; finding a photogenic tree was proving to be a challenge. We happened to spot this small tree early on in the hike, but didn't have much luck further on. Luckily for us, Yosemite is never dissapointing and there is a never bad time spent with my dad.
Enjoy!

Great shot John!
ReplyDeleteCould be titled 'Dancing Flowers' ;) It also looks as an overlayed sequence of falling flowers, the individual flower stems being almost invisible. Very nice
ReplyDeleteJeff and Bartek,
ReplyDeleteHi to you both, and thanks for jumping in.
I agree Bartek, the image does have certain grace and flow that looks like the blooms are dancing through the frame. When I saw this tree, that was exactly what came to mind and what I was trying to show. So I'm glad it translated.
