Aspens in Fall Colors & Fog - Utah
Sep 16, 2022 21:07:31 #
Last October, I was fortunate to catch amazing conditions near 10k ft in Southern Utah. It had been rainy so the morning was filled with rolling fog and soft dawn light. Moments before this, a great horned owl flew through the forest and perched as if he was watching this show. Unfortunately he landed just out of this frame or it would have too good to be true!
The colors are just beginning to change up high here now and on full display soon!

Lovely but I feel the story is not told completely. I would like to see more foreground and sky. Did you shoot hortzontally or vertically?

These are 5 stitched vertical images in Lightroom, all same exposure and settings. I would say you probably don't want to see the sky or foreground in this image. The point of the photo is the forest, colors and fog and showing more blank sky shows fog but distracts from the scene. The road in the foreground is the same below, it distracts. The choice to exclude those was made intentionally to keep your attention on the trees and the fading fog. I guess it was an artistic choice to just show a pano of the forest and hope this clarifies why I didn't show everything:)

I agree these are all artistic choices and you thought them out appropriately. Glad you shot vertically. The picture is really quite lovely and captures the mood well. Thanks for posting.

It was all gone minutes after, the fog lifted and it was just cloudy. Definitely a lucky day and I appreciate your question/comment:) This area does have beautiful forest but plenty of "distractions" to frame out. Oh well.. thanks:)
