Tree trunk, root and cones, from a Bristlecone Pine tree shot in the Eastern Sierra Mountains in California.  This grove of trees lives at 11,000 feet in elevation and some of the trees can be aged at 5,000 years old.  They are some of the oldest living things on the planet.

I was teaching a workshop at the Morton Arboretum west of Chicago last weekend and came in on Friday to do some shooting for myself. 

It was super windy so had to deal with that, but even shooting at f/32 at ISO 2000 I was still able to pull off some nice images.

This early in the Spring there is a limit to how many plants will be there to shoot, so I would have liked more to shoot, but have to accept it's still too early for most flowers.

I did some creative processing in Smart Photo Editor.  I will be running my program on how I use Smart Photo Editor on June 4th. Click the link for more info on this program. My Image Post Processing with Smart Photo Editor - Michael G Moats (tinylandscapes.com)

I was dealing with high winds while shooting at the Morton Arboretum west of Chicago, and some of the images were coming out blurry from the movement.  Here is one where you would typically just hit the delete button, but with the creative filters in Smart Photo Editor, I used a painted filter to help out.

The original.
