Fall Color Storm Event
On 10/6, a good size storm came thru, dusting the aspens and laying a nice foundation on the higher peaks.
Had scoped this aspen grove out earlier the day before, hoping to go back the next morning to catch some of the dark storm clouds in the background as the storm cleared.
With the peaks receiving a fresh dusting of the new snow, some soft morning light illuminating some of the peaks in the background, and some of those rays hitting the aspen grove at the right angle, giving them a beautiful Fall glow, which brought this piece together making it one of my special pieces in this Fall collection.
With Christmas coming up, please consider purchasing a piece of the Sierra for you home, office, or cabin, from one of our hard working HST professional artist this year.
Make sure to click on photo once to enlarge.
Enjoy:

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Fall Color Storm Event
Your lightening photos always amaze me. The fall colors are a wonderful bonus. Do you use a remote and/or multiple exposures (like sports photographers) to capture the lightening and pick the best one?
I don’t need a goal destination. I need a destination that meets my goals.

Use both methods, but really like the Lightning Trigger IV.Do you use a remote and/or multiple exposures (like sports photographers) to capture the lightening and pick the best one?

Re: Fall Color Storm Event
Don’t take this personally but is that really a natural (instantaneous) photo, as opposed to a composite? Kind of mystified as to the lightning lighting versus the illumination on the aspens.

Mother nature works the way she does, have seen some very weird occurences over the decades, lighting that I could not find definite explanations for, so I except and marvel at her beauty, and except it for what it is, and do not personally need the answers to it.

Re: Fall Color Storm Event
I assume this was a time exposure and you were able to capture the lightning?
