Aspen Chaos

I know, I know...these shots have been done a million times before. But there is something fun and challenging about hunting these compositions down and lining everything up. Furthermore, the images I took last year were too underexposed and I had to push the files too far, losing the white color of the Aspen trunks. This was taken at an awesome grove of huge (biggest I have seen) Aspens in the Hope Valley area today. It caught my eye a few times as I drove by, and so I turned around at a pullout on the way up to the lookout above Red Lake, and bushwhacked through the brush to check out these giants up close. Hope valley is looking very close to peak right now, and should be absolutely perfect this weekend. Still a bit of green here and there but tons of good color around Red, Caples, Blue Lakes Rd, and the Cabin. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!
