The Beauty of Backlight; The Aspens of Snowbowl Road Photo Gallery by Brian Klimowski at pbase.com

The Beauty of Backlight; The Aspens of Snowbowl Road

The color intensity of autumn aspens if often best realized when the sun in shining from behind the trees; that is, in backlight. When the sun passes through the golden aspen leaves they appear to almost glow with brilliance; filtering the golden hue onto the forest floor. It is a magical type of light. The gallery herein is composed exclusively of the backlit aspens along the Snowbowl Road near Flagstaff, Arizona...all taken on one glorious afternoon in October, 2005.

Derek von Briesen		13-Nov-2005 20:23
this is such a beautiful group of images, brian. your compositional instincts just blow me away, especially your choices in the positioning of the trees relative to each other and the light. and you are simply a master of the tricky kind of backlighting that drives so many of us mad!! vote (twice if i could!).

Mark Thompson		13-Nov-2005 14:01
What fantastic colours! Great collection of images, backlit exposures are spot on. I particularly like Aspens 11 & 13.

I really like Aspen #2. I have been to Hart Prairie road numerous times in the fall, but had not tried going up Snowboal Road. I love the backlighting

Beautiful gallery. Aspens are a beautiful subject, especially in the fall when their leaves glow in the sun.

Beverly Wickersham		08-Nov-2005 11:46
