Foggy fall Pt1

[Ben Egbert]

I have discovered that the aspen really pop on foggy days. Here is my first example.

Oh my - I love the color you got out of these trees. Looking forward to part 2.

What you say is so true. I only shoot fall colors in low light conditions or on cloudy or foggy days. Beautiful image, Ben.

Nice image, Ben. I agree with Douglas.

This is really cool Ben! You had great conditions.

Also a favorite time is when it's raining. The rain definitely brings out the color. I used that to my advantage in Colorado to help bring some color to leaves that were more brown then red, but the rain turned them into a really pretty orange.

But also, don't forget that when the conditions are not like this, when it's a clear blue sky, that it's a great time to get backlighting on the fall colors. I also like to do that too. So for me, when it comes to fall colors, there really almost isn't any kind of atmosphere that great fall colors can't be photographed in.

Thanks, Alan, I will probably wait a bit to avoid posting too many similar shots in a bunch.

Thanks Douglas. I have been trying for sunrise shots but when you get a good sunrise with lots of color, it competes with the fall color.

Nice image, Ben. I agree with Douglas.

Thanks Jeffrey.

Thanks Jim, I avoid rain, in fact I avoid getting wet at all, even without a camera. But I hear you, what I think is important for any but backlit situations is to avoid strong direct light as it tends to blow out the red channel.

This is great. I love all the orange and yellow. So pretty!
