Luminous Seasons

There are more than four seasons. Many photographers understand this, but most do not.

Understanding the various phases of the seasons is crucial for landscape photographers in the middle latitudes – those places that have a traditional cycle of seasons.

Evening...

These photos are an homage to Ansel Adams. I borrowed (stole) the base composition from one of his most famous photographs, "Moonrise, Hernandez," & blended it with my experiences living in Idaho to create these photos. I'm going to include several versions - Hope you enjoy these.
