STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE | ||||
|
|
If I didn't know
better I'd swear this scene was from northern New England but it's
actually from the Wasatch Mountains in northern Utah. Most of the autumn
color we come to expect in the Rocky Mountain states is from aspen which
usually display yellow foliage in the fall (with a few isolated stands of
red, see # CORRM137 in Gallery 4). In parts of the Wasatch Range, however, Rocky Mountain
and Bigtooth Maple form dense stands often mixed with aspen. In this
image I'm standing on one side of an open ravine with an opposite hillside
of color. This is the perfect opportunity to use a long lens. The
300mm lens (roughly equivalent to 85mm on a 35mm format) slightly compresses
perspective and include just what's important in the scene. To balance the
composition, the largest dominant maple, seen with it's double trunk, was
placed just below and to the left of the image center. Location: Wasatch Mountain Range, Utah Technical: Toyo 45 AII field camera with Nikon M 300/9 lens and Fuji Velvia film Exposure: 1 sec at f/45
