The tree is illuminated by a sodium vapor street lamp high above. The lamp's emission spectrum interacts with the tree's green bark making it seem to almost glow with a wonderful white light. These images were made with Tri-X using a tripod and my M6 TTL. The primary image is with a 50mm summicron while the alternate is with a 35mm summicron ASPH. <http://www.splitsecondfilms.com/PaloVerdeBCC/> I think the complexity of the branches is too much for the Tri-X so the next time I shoot this I'm going to use either APX100 or technical pan...making sure to bring along a stop watch and cable release!
