Fall at Schwabachers Landing

SEASONS The beaver ponds that create the classic mirror shot of the Tetons are open from late spring to early fall. I prefer the golden glow of the fall colors to the normal green look of summer. The green shot looks best from early June to early July. The fall shot looks best in early fall, the last week in September typically, after a light dusting of snow.

 

TIMES

 

Most people go for the technicolor, alpenglow cloud show just as the sun hits the Grand Teton at sunrise. The golden light seen above, 30-60 minutes after is a pleasant variation,especially with good fall colors.

 

LENS & FILTERS

 

LENS: 28-50mm focal length for 35mm camera, 38mm was used above.

FILTERS: 2 stop split ND right at sunrise, no ND 20 minutes after sunrise. An 81A or B in optional in summer or fall.

 

FILMS
