Looking back over the past few weeks, I’ve shared a number of winter photos with cold tones, black & white shots, and muted scenes. So it feels like time for a burst of color to warm it up in here!
From a walk at Egypt Meadows last autumn, in the later afternoon – it was my first time visiting this trail, despite my frequent visits to adjoining Promised Land State Park. I didn’t make it very far down the trail, but I liked what I saw; exactly the kind of forest that I enjoy photographing, with mixed hardwoods and a somewhat open understory.
With the sun low in the sky, it was perfect for some highly backlit shots, to give the foliage a crisp autumn glow. I enjoy putting the sun in the scene when possible, and stopping the lens down lets it burst through the trees with a ray effect.
I’m looking forward to checking Egypt Meadows out further in other seasons, but for now, here’s some sun and warm tones to beat the March blues!
