On the edge of spring
Hoary Elm in HDR
Late Winter, on the cusp of Spring, I arrived at the Cornell Experimental farm before sunrise.
There I set up a Kodak DSC Pro SLR/c with a Canon EF 50 mm f/1.4 USM lens all mounted on a very stable Manfrotto Studio Aluminum Tripod Model 475 and Hydrostatic Ball Head. From this 15 exposures were obtained. Photoshop CS6 HDR combined the 15 into this perfected image. Cornell Thompson Experimental Farm, Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New York
On a late winter morning on the cusp of Spring 2007 I ventured from my home on Fall Creek on a photo expedition.
Form here is revealed through the fine snowfall dusting the evergreen boughs of this stand of pines, not enough to stop the wind for which is tract of the Cornell Thompson Research Farm is known.
On the first day of 2006 I ventured from my home on Fall Creek on a photo expedition.
Each November, the eerie form of these limbs are revealed. I call the tree an “elm” though I am not certain. There are other lone survivor elms nearby, the leaves are right for an elm. Some elm species/specimens have the same shape.
