More from TonyDWolfe
It never ceases to amaze me how a little light changes a view. This of course is Looking Glass Rock once more, instead of sunset, or afternoon light I opted to travel down here at 4 in the morning, setup a composition slowly, painstakingly... and not to mention in frigid temperatures. Not that it was very cold as far as the ambient temperature's were concerned, no it was only 37f, not awful... No the real problem was the wind, chill you to the bone in moments. If you want shots like this, you have to wait, be patient, not let the weather dissuade you. Photography takes setup, concentration, and the forethought to bring gloves. [No, seriously, I desperately need to get some dedicated gloves for this.] I watched other photographers come, give up because the clouds were blocking the first rays of light from the sun, and that to me is tragic. Wait a bit longer, salvage the shot, and plan for next time. I presently am waiting for a thermal inversion at this location, but that is all about patience, and a bit of luck.

No filters, just numb hands, legs, feet. Really, I need some gloves.

Carhart has "touch sensitive" insulated gloves that you can tie a knot in string with; I've found them very useful. Tractor Supply carries them.
This image is very painterly; why are the foreground trees golden and the rest of them greenish-blue? It doesn't seem to be due to the light or the species. Is it a filter?

The trees are leafing presently, they do so at different elevations and times, and as they leaf they go through color shifting. Really interesting to watch and capture. There's only a 500 foot elevation change from the mountain bellow to where I'm standing but it's enough to show the stages of spring. Thanks for the glove recommendation!
I've seen that effect--driving from a valley over a mountain pass in the spring is like using a time machine. The trees in the valley are in full leaf, then gradually the leaves get smaller until on top of the mountain, the trees are bare. Then the process reverses itself on the other side,
