Tree Skeletons, Yellowstone
Taken in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA.
Driving along the park road early one morning, there was a small dip in the road where the early morning mist had lingered. I frantically shot as much as I could, knowing it would rapidly vanish with the sun getting higher in the sky. It was so unbelievably beautiful, I felt like I was dreaming !
A very magical five minutes that is forever etched in my memory.
The tree skeletons are relics of that huge fire in the Eighties.
I shot on my Canon EOS 40D, mounted on tripod, polarising filter attached, iso 100, Auto WB, f22, 1/15 sec, RAW file processed in Adobe Camera Raw, then CS3, with selective levels and curves adjustments, also selective colour. Other than that, the shot kinda took itself !
