Thanks to @Camerawestwc, @BackscatterUW, @pictopia1, & @LensRentals for their support. Here's pics from the 2012 elephant seal workshop.
A great workshop, group, and conditions. More next year in January of 2013.
Desert Skylight....
Joshua Trees are just fun to photograph. Their strange morphology, when silhouetted, is something remenischent of the days when dinosaurs roamed. You can play with this in all sorts of ways. This shot was taken looking toward the southwest as the moon was getting ready to set and some lights from a neighboring city provided the orange glow.
This was shot from a tripod at ISO 1600, at 30 seconds, and at f5.6. I didn't want to star trails with this image as it's all about the cloud window allowing us to peak through to the stars. Any longer than 30 seconds and the stars and clouds would trail too much. So, aperture had to be kept wide. The background trees are a tad soft, but it seems to work.
