SEA OF ASPEN, DOLORES RIVER CANYON COLORADO This print can be ordered securely online at a special discounted price. I made this image during a light rain one early spring evening in the spectacular Dolores River Canyon in Southwestern Colorado. While driving along I rounded a bend and found an incredibly dense grove of aspen trees covering a hillside straight in front of me. The grove was some distance away, so I used the longest lens I had at the time - a 500mm Tele-Nikkor - on my trusty 4x5" Linhof Technika camera to make this image. When I saw how the luminous white trunks filled the ground glass of my view camera, it seemed as if I was looking at a "sea" of aspen trees. There was a delicate glow on the aspen trunks that I hope is conveyed in this online reproduction of the original print. I used a number 23A red filter to darken the background foliage from the light trunks, and increased the contrast of the T-Max 100 film by giving N+1 development. I liked this image so much that I included it in my first book, Quiet Light: Fifteen Years of Photographs. This print is available for a limited time at the very special price of $600.
