Panorama image in black and white of two giant sequioa trees in dense fog. This picture was actually taken the same day as Mr Sandman, but in an entirely different place. Here the fog was dense, but much brighter and I had long waited to make a photograph of these giant sequoia trees that I have known since my earliest childhood. My grandmother took me here very often and I loved the way their branches were so low to the ground. These trees though are incredibly hard to photograph. When I heard that it was very foggy in this area, we got into the car and drove to this park. I knew I would have to work with a panorama and it turned out I needed 7 vertical images to create this image. I had to repeat the panorama series three times because dogs came running past and under my tripod and I had to start over again. It took me a long time before I finally got a series without interruptions :) When I came home I realized that the greens and the browns really distracted from the serene mood of the day and I decided to make this a black and white image. This is an awarded photograph.
