October Project : Fall Atmosphere

[Photo-John]

I picked up a Nikon D3100 digital SLR to test over the weekend so I made it a point to get out yesterday and get some foliage photos. We have had interesting weather in Salt Lake this fall and it seems to have been very good for the fall colors. They just keep getting richer and more interesting. Yesterday I went up to the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon and got this aspen photo, which I think is one of my best fall color photos ever. I shot it with the Nikon D3100 and the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 OS lens.

On my way up the canyon I stopped to get this one. I think the red trees are maples, although we have these little scrub oak trees on the lower parts of the mountains that also turn colors. Regardless, the red in the lower elevations has been ridiculous this fall.

This one was also taken with the Nikon D3100 and the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 OS lens.
