In the east where I grew up all the hills and the soil were
pretty similar from one place to the next. The maples, oaks, and
birch usually mixed together pretty well, and so your fall
colors usually mixed together pretty evenly as well. One of the
first things I noticed when I began photographing the fall
colors in the western mountains, is that because of the drastic
difference in soil and water (especially melting snow pack) the
fall colors often came in distinct patterns. Notice here how the
yellow and green strip of aspen trees cut right through the
middle of the orange and red maple trees. Take special notice,
as well, of how fine the wild grasses are in front of this maple
tree. I brought this image into photoshop to clean little specks
of dust off from the digital scan of the original film, which I
did by hand, speck by speck. But I made no changes of any kind
to anything else, this photo is exactly as recorded by the
camera. |
