Here are a few more photos of autumn color in northern New Mexico. Both images shown here were captured in the Valle Vidal, or Valley of Life.

Here is a pair of panoramic photos I shot yesterday at sunset from the west rim of the Rio Grande River Gorge near Taos, New Mexico. This was our first storm of the season as it lifted off the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and cleared out of the area.
Both images were created using a Canon 5D full-frame camera and a 45mm tilt shift lens. Each scene required capturing three exposures as I shifted the lens from left to right, with the final image being assembled with Photoshop. I also used a Singh-Ray 3-stop, hard-step, graduated neutral density filter, hand-held in front of the lens to control the range of contrast represented in both scenes.

I didn’t have an opportunity to get back into the woods today, but I did take the time to create some portraits of aspen leaves that I collected yesterday while hiking in the Valle Vidal.

I spent the entire day photographing autumn color in the mountains north of Taos. We still have about a week to go in most places before we reach peak, but even so, I still managed to find some nice color in the aspens. My first stop was Cabresto Canyon, the same location from my post on August 13th, 2008, and then onto Valle Vidal. It’s been a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, but we had fresh dusting of snow on the mountains around Costilla Reservoir.

The September issue of New Mexico Magazine is in the mail and I’ve got a full page image on page 35! This image was created this past fall in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near the town of Red River, New Mexico.
