Falling Leaves In The Forest, 10-16-2024

Geraint October 16, 2024 8 Comments

Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week falling leaves in the aspen groves around northern New Mexico.

Over the last three weeks, I’ve spent many hours in the woods on photo tours with clients from the East Coast, West Coast, Dallas, Houston, Albuquerque, and beyond.

One thing that always moves me is being overwhelmed by the golden light underneath the aspen canopy. Standing in the aspen groves with leaves falling all around is another.

In the following images, I wanted to create a feeling of standing amongst the aspens with leaves falling around me. I hope you like them.

As always thank you for looking. I hope you have a great week. G

Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week on the Taos Plateau, a last shot today on an exhilerating photo tour with Scott Purdy. Sorry for the delay in posting… I spaced out what day it was.

I’m thinking of all my friends in Florida as I look at this cloud, and send love.

I think it’s a sheep herders corral. It looks like it would never pen in a herd of cattle.

Thanks for looking. I apologize again for the limited post. I really did forget what day it was. G

Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week, in the aspens. It’s leaf-peeping time in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. I hope you’re able to get out there. I’ll have six days on the road with wonderful friends and great clients.

I did some intentional camera movement (ICM) in the first few shots. I’ve done it before, no two pictures are alike.

All were shot around Hopewell Lake along Highway 64 in NM.

A favorite spot.
