Jacob's Ladder

© 2013 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

 

I've had an idea about a "ladder to the sky" type image, but the weather has not been cooperating. No visible stars! But light pollution and low, heavy clouds do produce a unique glow in the sky, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I did some subtle light painting in the foreground to pick up the wet leaves and let the image exposure just long enough to get the glow in the sky that I wanted. I've added a touch more exposure to the ladder in post, but I love the overall drama of this shot.

 

I have just posted the review of the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 along with many pictures that I have not shared if you want to take a look here:
