Bristlecone Pines in the Snow, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

Briefly noted: This is the composition I was working on when rudely interrupted, as told in When Worlds Collide. As you can see, my shadow is pretty niftily camouflaged.

Exposure data: 18mm, circular polarizer, 1/15 of a seoncd at f/22 and ISO 100, tripod mounted; multi-RAW processed four times from the original file to extend the dynamic range.

I’m sticking around to enjoy Halloween with the kids, then headed for some photography east of the Sierras—and to the Alabama Hills Star Circle workshop. So blog entries may be on the skimpy side for the next week or so, hope the photos and stories I bring back will be worth the wait!
