Fall in the High Sierra

Eastern Sierra - October 2022

I spent a few days in the Eastern Sierra near Bishop in October, exploring some canyons and creeks that were lit up with a pretty background of fall colors. The well-chronicled aspens and cottonwoods put on a brilliant display of yellow and orange, and I took advantage of canyon shade in the mornings and afternoons for more evenly balanced light. While the colorful trees provided an imposing visual dimension, I tried to use them more as an accent than a frame-filling subject, with varying degrees of success.
