P#19: A Veil of Autumn Fog
Jim Zuckerman describes the thought behind this autumn fog photograph
How did Jim Zuckerman capture this amazing aerial shot of a autumn fog landscape? Here he explains how fall photography isn't always about technique, but is often about location and timing.
The Right Place, The Right Time
Jim Zuckerman: This autumn fog picture is an aerial that was taken from Owl's Head. This is the kind of shot that you can get on that rock outcropping looking straight down on the top of the canopy of the forest. (click the image for a larger version)
Like I said, there are some low clouds there that made this a very special morning. Also notice the lighting. You have that early morning golden light just grazing the tops of the trees. This was taken maybe ten minutes after sunrise. It's a spectacular place.
In Conclusion
Sometimes the most amazing fall photographs are just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. That's exactly how this one came to be. Jim Zuckerman was able to capture this magnificent autumn fog moment by being at Owl's Head on a foggy morning sunrise, creating a spectacular photographic masterpiece.
