Transitions

Gallery: LandscapePosted November 1, 2013283 views9 comments

Seeing snow and fall colors together has been on my bucket list for awhile. There was a light snow at the higher elevations in the Smokies at the end of my trip, so I headed out Newfound Gap Road in search of some compositions to show the juxtaposition of snow and fall colors. The snow was not heavy enough for any foreground elements to hold color, so I shot mainly long lens. This was shot looking towards the chimney tops, just off the road after wading through some trees that got in the way. Single exposure, not much processing. Thanks for looking and have a nice weekend. Any comments regarding the processing welcome!

Chris, this a really interesting mix of the "two seasons" with the different elements. I'm kind of curious to know what the bare trees are (?)

BTW, I just returned this afternoon from my shoot there (much warmer than yours), and I will be posting a few in the ensuing days.

Highly effective study of contrasts. The triangular layout works very well.

Nice composition. I particularly like the frame splitting diagonal between the snow dusted bg and the richly colored fg. Nice job

That's a sweet mix, and I really like your title (it has "levels" too!). I'd love to see a larger version for all the details.
