Aspen Veins - a photo on Flickriver

Aspen Veins

            While exploring some of the largest stands of aspens I’ve seen in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains area, I spotted this view with my 400mm lens on the edge of one of the stands. The visibility of the white trunks and branches of this cluster of trees reminded me of veins and capillaries of an organ in cross section, and the leaves reminded me of a Seurat pointillism. There’s always this sort of idea perpetuated that landscapes are the primary domain of wide angles, but I use my 100-400 far more than I use my widest lenses. This is a scene that while it seems at first very busy, I think it is a feature of this composition, as I find myself wanting to visually explore every little pathway outlined by the white bark.
