Moonlit Tree

Moonlit Tree

Tree silhouetted against a moonlit sky, with the branches showing blurring due to a strong wind during the long (two-minute) exposure. The brighter patch in the upper left is from the moon shining through the clouds, just out of the frame.

  1. I keep meaning to comment on how much I love this photo, then I forget! But I do love it!

  2. Why, thank you! I was glad I got a shot I liked from that night...I spent an hour or so looking for a scene that I liked up above Provo, and I was having a hard time getting one that really felt right. I liked the way the clouds turned out due to the long exposure: those streaks were really there, not added in post (though I did tweak the contrast a bit to bring them out).
