When people first see this abstract looking image they often think that the colors were manipulated in photoshop. Far from it. In fact, getting these kind of results depends on learning to see the colors as your camera sees them. In this example, the color of the leaves is influenced by the blue tones of light in the shade and the sky. The water is reflecting the color of the fall foliage still on the trees. If you use auto white balance settings on your camera this color would be “balanced” out of the image. I used daylight white balance when I created this image which captured the tones as I wanted .

I created this image at Big South Fork NRA which is the site of a workshop this Fall, October 26-29th, 2017 that I will be leading with Ron Rice. For more details click HERE.

My passion for photography has always been linked to discovery. Discovering new places, new ways of seeing and exploring paths of creative expression. Recently I have begun deeply exploring a more abstract nature image than I have pursued in the past. Here are a few examples of what I have been up  to.

So I’m looking at my iPhone at the Travel Channel in the news app. I’m reading the article about 15 Fall Getaways (always looking for more places to shoot), and what do I find?
This image that I took in Sedona a few years ago!! It is also on the Travel Channel’s website.

It was sold through one of my agencies. The agencies don’t tell me of each usage as the sales are made. I just get a statement with a line description of usage and royalties. So it was a fun coincidence to see my image!!
