No Colorado landscape photographer ceases the endless search for the perfect aspen grove at the height of fall. Few groves are perfect–dead trees, blown off leaves, wrong light direction, to name just a few of the factors that drive perfectionist photographers crazy. The image here captures many of the ideal elements I seek when photographing aspens in the fall. Side or back lighting gives luminosity to the leaves that frontal or flat directionless lighting cannot rival. This magnificent grove pulls the viewer’s attention into the scene by using the richly detailed shadowed foreground as a lead-in element to the brightness in the medium and far distances.
Taken with an 8×10 Stenopeika field camera equipped with a 450mm f9 Nikkor lens. 300mm focal length lenses are considered “normal” for the 8×10 format. The longer lens gives a pronounced compressive effect to this scene.
