Blooming Joshua Tree by Marilyn Peake

May 2023 - Blooming Joshua Tree

About the Image(s)



I took this photograph of Joshua trees at the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve in Lancaster, CA in May 2019 with my cell phone. I've taken many photos of Joshua trees and was delighted to capture some in bloom.

According to the information on my cell phone, this photo was taken with f/2, 1/1121 sec., ISO-48. In Photoshop, I just cropped the original photo.

Marilyn, I have heard about these trees many times. This is a beautiful specimen (or clump of them) I like the low angle that makes the one big and your focal point. The other become supporting acts in the BG. Well done

As a person who live in other continent and climate your image open my eyes to see this unique trees. The light was good, good contrast between foreground and blue sky.   Posted: 05/28/2023 06:57:50
