Storm Light of Autumn

Wonderful ligt. The gold color of the peak are great and the overall composition is balanced and pleasant. The clouds gives also a nice dramatic touch.

Ever watch the alpen glow fade and dissapear before it was going to get

good, well that's happened but it came back through a hole in the

clouds. No wonder it's a favorite time of year for so many photographers.

 

Normally I stay away from iconic scenes but I was scouting for a

workshop and hanging out with friends Eric Good and Chris

Chamberlain so there was no doubt I'd end up at this heavily over shot

lake more then once. I never complain about the crowd and just shoot

around them since it's just the nature of iconic places. I knew the color

there would be a lot better there then previous years because of all the

extra water in the El Nino year so it would be worth working around the

crowds. I spent about 2 weeks out there and can still head back in a

week and shoot plenty more fall color in the lower parts of the canyons.

I saw the RAW screen capture on Facebook and I have been waiting to see the workup of this one. Even though it is an iconic place, the light is tremendous and separates it from other images of North lake!

I love the contrast the dark clouds give the image.  Very striking picture.

Beautiful reflection, strong colors and a  dark sky which contrasts with the bright shaft of light on the mountain peaks for a very dramatic effect.

Superb!
