Perseverance by Wayne Pinkston Via Flickr: Website, Instagram, Facebook This is one of my favorite photos of this past summer. The photo is not really spectacular or anything like that, but this Ancient Bristlecone Pine looks like it has borne the weight of the world for millennia. I suspect it is several millennia old at least. It has taken all the abuse the earth could throw at it yet it persists, bent but not broken. In fact it seems to be quite healthy with a lot of foliage not shown here. Is there any better life lesson to learn? ________________________________________________ Low Level Lightening (LLL) used for lighting. A single Cineroid LED light panel was used, set on a 10 ft. (3 meter) light stand about 100 feet (30 meters) away, off to the left side. The light was turned all the way to low and set at a relatively neutral to slightly warm color temperature of 4200K. ________________________________________________11 light frames and one dark frame stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker. 14-24 mm lens, 20 mm, f/2.8, ISO 8000.
The Baobab by Wayne Pinkston Via Flickr: Website, Instagram, Facebook This is a huge, majestic Baobab Tree. It can be hard to capture the enormity of very large objects in a single image. We had several people with us that posed in front of the tree for reference, but they were dressed in camouflage clothing and pretty much disappeared in those photos. (Note to self: Camouflage clothing is not good for photos at night in the brush 😂). Anyway, I tried this vertical panorama, multiple horizontal photos moving upwards. That helped a little. There is Low Level Lighting (LLL) with 2 Cineroid LED light panels, set on a relatively neutral color temperature of around 4000-4200K. One is a primary light and one is a fill light. 14-24 mm lens, 14 mm, f/2.8, 15 seconds, ISO 6400. A big thanks to @worldpix for arranging the tour. WorldPix is a charity organization that used photography to raise money for charitable causes.

The Aged and the Ageless by Wayne Pinkston Via Flickr: Website Instagram Facebook This is a Bristlecone Pine encompassed by the Milky Way. One is the oldest individual species on earth, and the stars are the oldest thing we can see. For perspective, a human generation is estimated to be the average time between the birth of a mother and the average birth of her children, approximately 25 years. Bristlecone Pines are the longest living single multicellular species on earth, living up to and beyond 5,000 years. That is basically the length of recorded human history, 200 generations. The Milky Way above is estimated to be 13.21 billion years old, and the universe 13.77 billion years old, so the life of the Bristlecone Pines are but a blink of the eye. Since the light from the stars and galaxies can take millions or billions off years to reach us, when we look at the night sky we are looking back towards the beginning of time. Thanks for all the kind comments! Hope you enjoy! A big thank you to the wonderful Flickr family for all the support and encouragement! Cheers, Wayne
