The Story Behind This Shot

Pointing the lens straight up through an aspen grove on Kebler Pass near Crested Butte, Colorado, with white trunks converging toward a pure blue sky and the canopy backlit gold. A wide lens and a polarizer turn the sky a deep, saturated blue behind the leaves. Shooting up is the fastest way to make a familiar fall scene feel new. A vivid, graphic autumn print that works as a statement piece in a bright room.
