Peeking Through - WC 453

This is a view of the Eastern High Peaks area of the Adirondacks during the peak of fall color last year. Cloudy days probably disappointed lots of leaf peepers, but it was good for photography. Still, some variety of light in one shot can be a wonderful thing. The Sun peeking through a small opening in the clouds that were touching the peaks, as well as a dusting of snow in the higher elevations made the scene memorable.

Canon 50D
Tamron 18-250
Two exposures at ISO 100 manually blended
Tripod

Some nice layers, and great colors and weather, Wayne! A classic shot of the 'dacks in Autumn. Is that Algonquin in the bg?? Its been too long...
The bottom layer is interesting, but i think i like this better with it cropped--seems more 'pure' that way. :smile:

Fabulous color on the mountains, and the snow is "icing" on the cake. I think I agree with Stan about the cropping the bottom.

I love the mix of fresh snow and fall colors and this is a beautiful example of it. I can see how it would have been difficult to shoot with just one shot. Good choice to shoot two exposures and a fine job of blending. Very nice, Wayne. :toast:

That's great color, and the snow is a wonderful addition. I love the way all seasons are kind of represented here through altitude - green down low, autumn in the middle, and winter up high.

Wow, beautiful. I love the layers, and the snow is a real bonus.
