We recently visited relatives in Northern Ontario. My wife’s cousin is a great artist who paints. See below a link to her website!

Susan Chow’s Website

It was great hearing her suggestions for my art, and hopefully we were able to give her suggestions for her art.

We enjoyed a great time exploring the beginnings of the fall foliage during our time in Canada.

We shared some of photographs we are selling on Etsy. She was amazed when she saw my Blue Aspen Tree Magnet Pin – photograph.

She had never seen this site. I photographed this image in Vail, Colorado a few years ago. We missed the true Fall Foliage colors when we visited. I was a little disappointed. But I learned that you never know what sites you will see.

We went hiking in the late afternoon and enjoyed the bare aspen trees. What was amazing was with the shadows and the setting sun on the the white aspen trees gave us the illusion of blue trees! I was so excited to capture this image.

What is more amazing is that Susan created this image in one of her paintings without ever really seeing this. So she was so excited to see the real photograph that I happened to shoot.

It was her goal to one day find this real photograph of Blue Trees. I’m just glad I was able to show her this photograph. Remember I do not alter my photographs. So my images are real and true!

What kind of images would you like to capture? Think about nature, and what you would like to see. Just like anything, we need to plan and envision what sites we would like to find and shoot. Since I love fall foliage, there are some shots I was hoping to find on my fall foliage expedition.

Finding that scenery for a particular shot is like going on a treasure hunt. It becomes so exciting when you actually find that shot in nature.

Stay tuned to see if I found the shots I was seeking in my last trip.

Have You Seen Tree Lace?

We were hiking on the Trappers Run Trail in Vail Colorado during the Fall in 2016 after the changing of the leaves.  The picture was taken later in the afternoon with the foreground in the sunlight and the background mountain in complete shade. That really helped to separate the lightly colored branches from the dark background.

When my wife saw this photograph, she automatically commented that it looked like “Tree Lace”.  The intertwining of the bare white tree branches give the effect lace. The bare branches show such unique and interesting patterns.

This just accentuates the fact there is beauty everywhere if we would only take the time to look.

Such beauty does not need to changed, and thus this photograph is untouched and real!

kw6a1663-copyThese trees were shot as we hiked on Trapper’s Run in Vail, Colorado.  We went hiking in the afternoon and enjoyed shooting these photographs of the Aspen Tree Forest.  We were disappointed that we missed the fall foliage.  But seeing the bare trees allowed us to focus more on the straightness of the tree trunks and the density of the forest.

This photograph was taken in the late afternoon.  The light for outdoor photography is usually better in the early morning or late afternoon.  The color temperature of sunlight is warmer giving more orange tones.  The sunlight has more dimension since the sun is lower on the horizon creating longer shadows.

My goal was to shoot photographs in the late afternoon.  We were also fortunate that the clouds cleared so I could photograph with the pretty blue sky.

We  loved the white tree bark with the contrasting blue sky and dark ground.  Everyone should experience the quiet and stillness of the Aspen Forest.
