For those interested:
I had planned on doing a lot of ‘landscape’ photography this summer, but I ended up focusing on flowers mostly instead. Now that flowers are over with and the fall colors are out, I’m hitting the landscape hard. I’m very excited!
Eagle River Road has glorious fall colors! I shot some photos yesterday, and made it to Hatcher Pass too. Upper portions of Hatcher Pass are already beyond their peak.
Turnagain Arm and Girdwood apparently still don’t have the colors fully going yet. It’s interesting how elevation and proximity to the ocean varies starting dates of the display so much. I hope to spend some time there shooting areas I’ve scouted out. It’s hard to get it all done, having to work a real job and the weather not usually ideal.
I shot a photo of Powerline Pass at 4am on 9/7 (2.5 days after the full moon) that really turned out cool. I was only seeing in black and white (rods and cones), but when I took the shot, exposed for daylight (something I’ve wanted to try for awhile), wallah! Fall colors extravagant!!! What a surprise that was! I’ll put up the blue-sky-with-stars image later.
