Fresh Approaches to Photographing Familiar Places

View

Photo of a range of mountains with the top lit by the orange light of sunrise. The foreground and base of the mountains are in shadow, except for some trees with yellow leaves. The first rays of sunrise strike the sandstone face of enormous West Temple in Zion Canyon. Rather than darkening the upper portion of the frame with a gradiated N.D. filter, I chose to invert the filter, darkening the foreground still further and then apply a local adjustment to lighten the trees. To my surprise, it worked. © Jerry Ginsberg

The World’s Largest Tree: Bringing Pando to the World in 3D

View

Aerial View of Fishlake Basin, Pando's Home An aerial view from 1,000 feet above Pando details the rugged land it calls home in the Fishlake Basin. A land carved by glaciers and re-shaped by volcanism here on the boundary between Basin and Range and Colorado Plateau Ecological provinces. The scale of Pando is visible from this perspective. If you put your finger in the middle of the image where the waters end, and trace your finger around the green, that green Is Pando. Unlike the other trees around it that have turned yellow, Pando has not yet changed in this picture. The fact that all its leaves grow out together in spring, and change color at the same time in fall, was what first tipped off scientist that Pando may be a giant aspen clone.

Olympics Shed Light on Pressure to Succeed

View

Photo of a female moose crossing a body of water. The water comes up to her knees. There is a forest background. Moose are one of my favorite animals to photograph, and I spend quite a bit of money and time while racking up miles on my truck looking for them. Is it worth it? It is for me personally. © Dawn Wilson
