Have you ever found yourself surrounded by beautiful fall color and wondered where on earth to point your camera?
That was the challenge I decided to explore on my latest photography adventure along Highway 2 in Washington.
There was certainly no shortage of beautiful scenery! I spent the first day photographing in the rain, exploring golden stands of aspens, misty hillsides, and some wonderfully atmospheric scenes. The second day brought sunshine and a completely different set of photographic opportunities.
What made this trip interesting wasn't just the scenery, though. It was figuring out how to turn all that color and visual complexity into photographs with a clear subject and story.
Sometimes that meant zooming in with a telephoto lens to isolate just a small part of the scene. Other times, it meant changing my viewpoint, looking for repeating patterns, or using the landscape itself to guide the viewer's eye.
And for my final sunset photograph, I took almost the opposite approach!
I've put together a new blog post and YouTube vlog sharing the adventure, the resulting photographs, and my thought process behind the compositions.
Come along for the adventure!
