STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE | ||||
|
|
I visited two
mountain ranges with the name "Sawtooth" in 2003. The one I
was familiar with previously is the dramatic Sawtooth Range in Idaho. It
was not until I was exploring the Superior National Forest that I stumbled upon
the Sawtooth Range in Minnesota. This range parallels the
shore of Lake Superior in northeast Minnesota and has a character more
rolling than jagged. The typical northern hardwood forest of maple,
beech and birch dominates here. I
have been to New England previously once in autumn but that year was not a good
one for
color. This was the best expanse of red autumn color I've seen. Soft
light from an overcast sky provided great light but the wind howled
constantly. I managed only about seven sheets of film in my five
hours time here and some of these were not sharp due to wind blurring
the foreground trees. Even if the subject wasn't blowing, wind can
easily shake a view camera making sharp images difficult. I
used both Kodak E100VS and Fuji Velvia (RVP 50) here and preferred the
reds from the Kodak.
