Autumn Impressions

Kebler Pass, near Crested Butte, CO, is home to one of the most beautiful (and largest) aspen groves in the US. It’s a great place to photograph aspen in the fall, offering multi-colored displays in compositions that range from grand scenics to more intimate landscapes. For this image, I chose an Impressionist interpretation. I made several exposures using relatively long shutter speeds (1/3 to 1/2 sec) and panning the camera slowly down the trunks. I like this one because it  blurs the trunks and leaves but retains a hint of branch detail. As I often do with this type of image, I added a texture to provide a more painterly feel and add a sense of depth.
