"Lone Tree" - Lee Vining, December 2017

January 09, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 80mm f/2.8
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Ilfotec HC

Near the town of Lee Vining, approaching Mono Lake, at dawn.

I was on my way to the tufas that morning, and with the Sun almost peaking out in the horizon, I had not much time to spare. But then I saw this tree on the left side of the road, and I had to stop and take an exposure.

The fog was accumulating in the lake just behind the tree, that stood dark as no light was hitting it. The sky was already bright from the approaching sunrise.

A scene that really depicted this place.
