Forest Fire

This image was made in Utah's Boulder Mountain Wilderness as the last

light of sunset was catching a field of red willows in front of barren

Aspen stands. The impressionistic look comes from trying variations

of primarily vertical camera motion throughout a 1/2 second exposure

at 120mm.

Wow, Marc. I've seen a lot of this style over the past couple years from many photographers, but few have been quite this stunning. My favorite part of this image is how it is so cleanly simplified into basic elements of aspen, willow and "background". What the "background" is made up of I'm not sure, but the beauty to me is that it doesn't matter. Your interpretation of this scene gives the viewer just enough to hold onto while preserving plenty of mystery. Well done. My favorite from your new posts so far.

...Not a new technique, but a stunning result! Very evocative and the title suits perfectly: I have the impression of a burning forest...

Regards, Alberto.
