Tree Remains

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This was a tree (or the remains of a tree) I found while hiking up to the top of Kessler Peak. The thing I found interesting was the way the exposed trunk was so full of deep twisting colors that striped around the tree.
And although in reality the tree trunk at the base truely was "fat" (much fatter than the top of the tree), I used a wide angle lens and close proximity to the ground to help emphasis what I saw in real life.
Because I wanted everything in the tree (from bottom to top) to be in focus, I set my aperture to f/8. But the only way I was going to try to hand-hold the exposure was if I bumped the ISO up to 400. This gave me a 1/100th of a second shutter speed and appears to have successfully gotten the entire tree in sharp focus. |

Nice use of the wide end of that lens.
Either you used less post-processing here - relative to several of your portrait shots - or else the bark and the conifers are more suited to it. This shot seems less "hyped." In any event, I like it and your note.
