Ode to Eliot Porter

David,

Wow.....this is a stunning image. The colors & light are perfect. Regards, Patsy

Eliot would be proud :-). We don't have aspens but I sure do like them... A colorful and lively shot... Mike

 

 

Beautiful display of color David! The white's in the trees really make the image pop. I'm curious as to your thoughts for the crop. Scrolling this up and down on the screen, I notice that the top third or the bottom third could be cropped to make two other, distinct but still effective images. IMO.

Thank you Patsy - glad you like it!

 

Thanks Mike. Eliot Porter (the Ansel Adams of color nature photography) was my early inspiration for taking up the camera. This shot reminded me of his style, (not that it in any way compares!).

Aspens are a favorite of mine as well - even though they grow like weeds around here.

 

Tim - Good eye - I can see the other possibilites now that you mention them. This shot is a scan from a 6x4.5 transparency - so should take a tight crop well. Thanks for viewing!

Beautiful colours and lighting, David!

Thanks very much Ruud -

Another beautiful image, David. You have a very creative eye, and combined with your interest in nature produces beautiful results. A good example of one who follows his passions. My compliments. David

I always appreciate your visits David, and your kind remarks.

 

Best wishes, David

I think that is a big pleasure to be there and feel all this splendid moment that you caught as always so good,regards Radu.

An absolutely gorgeous image that is very well balanced from a color tonal range. Congrats.

Tony - thanks again. The scan here came out spot on color-wise - some loss of detail though. The original medium format Velvia transparency was very sharp.

 

Best, David

That's simply wonderful!

Thanks much Stefano - appreciate your visit and thoughts.
