Rocky Mountain National Park–A Picture Perfect Autumn Destination
Rocky Mountain National Park in the fall is a nature photographer's dream come true: tall, rugged mountains, landscapes saturated with the colors of changing leaves, and wildlife so close at times you barely need a telephoto lens. I last visited the park the first week of October. Colors were still bold across the mountainsides, although they probably had peaked a week or two before, depending on the location. The days were warm, the mornings and evenings cool to cold. The air definitely felt like the seasons were in transition. Longs Peak, … [Read more...] about Rocky Mountain National Park–A Picture Perfect Autumn Destination
Photographer of the Day: Mary Hulett
Category: Nature Photographer: Mary Hulett Title: Guadalupe Serenity There is much to like about Guadalupe Serenity, starting the use of the water as a leading line, which pulls the viewer through the frame. Next, I love the color palette. In so many autumn shots, the focus is on vibrant, contrasting colors. Here, the muted palette adds to the overall sense of calm created by this scene. Finally, the leading lines and palette are both picked up in the reflections in the water. Put it all together and the result is a wonderful image … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Mary Hulett

Contrast is King: Quick Tip for Autumn Colors
Nikon D800, 50mm f/1.4 D lens, f/11, 0.4-1.6s, ISO 100, finished in Photomatix Pro and Lightroom 5 I've taken Rich Harrington's advice and read The Visual Story, by Bruce R. Block, and the one point that always comes to mind is that contrast is a major key to a great image. Color contrast is one of the first topics, and he teaches that even the richest red is more red when viewed next to blue. I'm applying this to photographing fall colors, which are at full power in much of the USA right now. Green is a cool color and when green trees and … [Read more...] about Contrast is King: Quick Tip for Autumn Colors
