I’m always fascinated with the reds of Ponderosa pines. As I was driving in the Kaibab national forest, I found several areas where the pines had the rich red bark which I’ve always wanted to make an image of. I was on my way to Fire Point, when the light changed on me and made the colors come alive with a soft glow. It happened right at this scene and I immediately pulled over and took a quick digisnap on my Canon G9 to check composition and rendering. It looked good, so I pulled out the 4×5 to make this image.
