(Birds in Nature) - Other Stuff - by Richard Ditch

Subject: Tree on lava and cinder slope
Place: Sunset Crater National Monument, Flagstaff, AZ, USA
Date: August 1996
Equipment: Nikon 8008, Nikkor 75-300/4.5-5.6 AF, tripod
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 400
Exposure: Aperture priority center-weighted meter
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 90% of frame

Commentary: I wish I hadn't been trying out Sensia 400 for this - it really limits detail. The image is about the contrasts of the pine against the black lava flow and cinders on the shoulder of Sunset Crater.
