Maroon Reflections Photo

Photographer’s Note

John & Joanne had gone back to their home in Denver and we stayed at Glenwood Springs from where we travelled to The Maroon Bells Scenic Area in the White River National Forest. Just before the town of Aspen there is a turn-off along Maroon Creek Road, which takes you there. Although not a National Park, your annual park pass is acceptable.

The Maroon Valley is surrounded by the 14,000 ft (4267m) peaks of the Maroon Bells, so called because of their colour and shape. The colour is from the presence of hematite, an iron bearing mineral, in the rocks. Maroon Lake that you see here is at an altitude 9,580ft (2880m)

Armed with John’s advice there was no point in arriving at sunrise as the lake would still be in shade. He suggested 8:30 am to 9am would be a good time, as the light would be on the lake, but the breeze would probably not yet have started to ripple the surface. Good advice John; thank you.

When we arrived the conditions were perfect, the surface of the lake just like a mirror. Interestingly there were about a dozen other photographers there, tripods at the ready. It was only as we approached that we recognised the English accents that we hadn’t heard for weeks. They were English photographers on a Western USA photographic tour.

We were in the area at prime time for the autumn colours of the aspen. Overall in the area, autumn was a little late, but the colours here were perfect. Before anyone says so, I have NOT over-saturated the colours; in fact I slightly reduced the saturation in the yellow channel. The bright green colour in the lake on the left is some strange kind of algae. Not a very original shot I’m afraid, but I couldn’t resist the colours and the reflections. It's a classic shot for a reason.

There’s a shot taken from the other end of the lake in the WS

Bonjour Kath
Un joli cliché de ce magnifique paysage avec des couleurs bien accentuées et des reflets très bien saisis.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

riclopes (32967) 2009-02-10 2:33

I have nothing against classical shots, Kath. Specially if they show such an amazing feast of colors. The reflection is simply spectacular adding also a lot of dynamism to the image due to the curved side of the steep mountain. Love seeing the peak in the background in the center of the bow...it's an obvious composition and a perfect one. I might like to see some more sky but I can see you problably had no extra space. Very interesting compared with the diferent WS, also beautiful but not stunning as this one.

Good morning Kath!
A truly breathtaking sight in incredible colours. You have had a wonderful weather this day - autumn at its best. A scenery to marvel ... and - I think - an unforgettable place.
Greetings from cool Germany - with a lot of snow slush!

asajernigan (14080) 2009-02-10 2:44

Kath,
This is a very fine landscape shot! Your composition is great using the reflection to create depth and balance for the scene. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF. The clearness of the water gives the reflection a 3-D look.
TFS,
Asa

aadilj (17950) 2009-02-10 2:46

This is a delight Kath. A perfect mirror. the colours are exceedingly vibrant. Very well composed

Sistercosmo (2571) 2009-02-10 2:49

Hi Kath,
fabulous work here! I'm impressed not just with the amazing scenery but also with how perfectly sharp and clear your f/g and the reflection is. Really awesome shot, dear Kath!
Thanks and take good care!

snunney (34656) 2009-02-10 2:50

Hello Kath,
A beautiful landscape composition with crisp and clear colours. The reflections are magnificent stretching towards vanishing point. Well done.

fulvio52 (8314) 2009-02-10 2:51

Good morning, Kath.
You and Henk are neighbors today, and it shows!
Now, you got me with this one... I haven't been here. A classic shot, indeed, but VERY FAR from being obvious. In the first place because you didn't turn it into an airbrushed postcard like lots of the wizzards would do under similar circumstances... Moraine Lake and Lake Louise at Banff are THE classic examples, those pics almost invariably look like the Pirelli calender's. BEAUTIFUL & BORING, BORING, BORING! Secondly because you opted for a slightly offish off-centered perspective (I hope I make sense) to enhance those marvelous curves in midground. Which is the whole key in this shot, everything comes alive in a most magnificent way. You and Colorado are made for each other, you GOT to come back!
Have a nice day, I'll be seeing you.
Fulvio.

ps. LOVE the WS too!

salil (239) 2009-02-10 2:55

hey Kath,
I just saw and thought for a while is it real. You got awesome shot, its proper mirror, nice colors within the frame. You are lucky u got still water. Nice keep clicking

John_F_Kennedy (31229) 2009-02-10 3:19

This is such a pretty place, love how you caught the colourful reflections in the lake. Well done.
Best wishes,

gunbud (27779) 2009-02-10 3:23

Hi Kath,
What a wonderful feast of brilliant colors seen making a stunning reflection in the lovely alpine lake.
The beautiful autumn yellows contrast wonderfully with the evergreens while they are complimented by the blue sky.
The marvelous snow capped peaks stand out in perfect relief to the sky in this splendid composition.
Regards, Tom

Floydian (30970) 2009-02-10 3:36

Hello Kath,

The colours look so deep, i'm glad you say that they are real and not too saturated. This almost hurts to the eyes, what a festival of colours. This is something i would like to make, what a fantastic landscape, what a great shot. The mix of colours are just perfect with that yellow part in the middle....do we have a new landscape master here? ;-)
I have been to Aspen in 1994, never heard or knew from this location, what a shame, because those days my Velvia's would have loved it.
A great shot from a wonderful area.

Regards,

Henk

Hello Kath!
BREATHTAKING! The view is simply fantastic! I like all the shapes, textures and colors of the mountains and vegetation! The perfect and symmetrical reflection is truly a highlight in this one! I loved it! It's bright and colorful - an invitation to visit the place! It has excellent sharpness and correct exposure! A very well chosen pov and an awesome composition! A superb photo job, that's for sure! TFS - Congratulations!

Les couleurs sont les premières choses qui nous sautent aux yeux. Tu as réussi à capter toute la gamme de couleurs dans une seule image !!
Les couleurs sont saturées à souhait !
Très joli !

Hello Kath,
These colours are incredible - so strong they almost give me a headache.-)
Seeing this in reality must have been one of those experiences you never forget. I like the contrast between the green, forested hillside to the left and the yellow vegetation right across.
Best regards,
Gert

dta (4960) 2009-02-10 5:39

Hello kath ,
Colors seems to be a little too saturated , but it is possible that they are quite real . And this landscape is so wonderful . An awesome composition with this fabulous reflection .
thanks for the share .

Beautiful color palette, beautiful symmetry, the composition is almost graphical... hopefully you have a great print out of this one on your wall.

Hello Kath,
A very nice autumn view that combines everything : mountains, snow, a blue sky, autumn colours and fantastic relfections. Some might call it too postcard like, but it remains a splendid view.

Well done.

Philippe (11769) 2009-02-10 14:22

Hi, Kath. The colours are really stunning here. I like the yellow splash going up the slope on the right and reflecting in the lake waters. The reflections are really perfect. The composition is well balanced with the trees on the left and the tops on the right of the picture. An amazing place which is certainly best visited in autumn to get these incredible colours.
Have a nice evening,
Philippe

Wandering_Dan (3211) 2009-02-10 19:17

Hi, Kath -

As you say, there are reasons why certain shots are classics. At first, I wasn't quite sure what to make of this one, since it took me a moment to recognize it as the reflection in a lake. Gorgeous curves, there!

It's clear that it is not over-saturated the colors, and they are fantastic. I just wish there had been a little splash of red somewhere; if not a leaf, then maybe some cowboy's long johns?

Best,
Dan

axiotea (16053) 2009-02-10 19:19

Hello Kath
For sure you had a good time in the US ! I can see it through your pictures and for this one,the advices from your friend helped you to get the best light condition! I love the beautiful colors and those reflections nicely captured...The mountains in BG just stand out perfectly against the blue sky.
Cheers
Marilyn

ChrisJ (70065) 2009-02-10 20:14

Hi Kath

Fantastic symmetrical reflections with superb saturated colour & sharpness. I like how the reflected sky changes from blue to brown in the shallow water. Tfs!

bostankorkulugu (33514) 2009-02-10 21:01

a classical shot but a veeeery classy one... the nature is mesmerising and your shot is the best to show it all kath...

Good morning Kath,
what a magnificent panoramic view of the Maroon lake and the rocks in the background.I like the reflections on the surface of the lake as the Autumn colours,especially the yellow one.Incredible beauty of the Nature and pleasure to see someone this scene that looks like a painting.Well done.

Have a nice day,danos

danyy (68546) 2009-02-11 5:58

Bonjour Kath,
la transparence est bien plus présente que la réflection. Je suis séduit par ce panaché de couleurs aussi fortes que variées. Un paysage qui dévoile sa profondeur et son altitude.
Une netteté vraiment surprenante.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

JCG (25155) 2009-02-11 6:21

Hi Kath,

It is a concentrated color landscape, what happiness for the photographer !!! A wonderful photograph, I like much. This mountain lake is a mirror that shows the rocky fund. It is a pleasure for the eyes this composition, thank you Kath.

With all my friendships and a very good end of the day

Jean-Charles

Dyerco (9018) 2009-02-11 6:43

Hi Kath
A classic shot indeed but a really nice landscape. There is a collection of diagonal lines that form an "X" due to the reflection. The colours are just superb.
Well done.
Phil

Cricri (43030) 2009-02-11 7:32

Hi Kath
Quel magnifique paysage, on resterais des heures a le regarder, les reflets et les couleurs sont splendide, j'aime aussi celle en WS, qui aurait mérité je pense un post principal aussi

Emile (19887) 2009-02-11 10:04

Beautiful landscape Kath, a very good shot with amazing colors contrast and a magnificent reflection. I'm really amazed by the vibrant colors of the early morning lights, very impressive place and you captured it in a spectacular way. Your WS is also a very good one.
TFS.
Best wishes.

UlfE (8941) 2009-02-11 10:35

Hi Kath,

You keep surprise us with the most fantastic pictures from your US trip. In this picture and in a great deal of your other pictures the lighting conditions are extremely good and you have the best light from the POV where you have taken the picture. I guess it was either good planning or extreme luck. The always good weather and the season have of course been very favourable. The scene is unbelievably beautiful. I love the colours and composition. TFS and have a nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

jwmunro (6571) 2009-02-11 11:06

Hello Kath -

I have been waiting so long to see this shot, it is fantastic! You are so right about the colors being so bright and saturated. Your position for the photo was at about 8-9000 feet so the light plays wonderful tricks on the eyes and the sensor. I hope you have shown this image to your photo clubs' nay sayer in regards to your timing. You timed this one perfect - I have been here for moonset/sunrise and the shadows are so deep and strong on the left that the composition almost does not work. The center horizon works perfectly in this scene. I just wish I could have shown you Crystal Lake with the stunning reflections of Red Mountain. (We stopped there before we left Ouray, but the wind was rather strong.)

Well done and seen is a bit of an understatement.

Thank you for sharing.

John

cherryripe (18869) 2009-02-11 11:16

Hi Kath
The bright colours and reflection are stunning. The scenery of course is so spectacular. We probably won't have long enough holidays to stray much from the canyon region. Bye the way, I'm leaning toward your suggestion of car & motels. It probably will turn out cheaper and more practical. We have a backpack/cooler for taking picnics into parks without food.
Regards
Nikki

jimkilgallon (0) 2009-02-11 12:18

Full of life and colour with awesome reflections. The clarity is spot on Kath and I love the jagged edges on the mountains. I have been to Aspen, but the weather certainly wasn't like this. Well done.
Regards
Jim

plimrn (19600) 2009-02-11 12:23

Hi Kath,
I've long had a picture of this POV as a favorite, but your photo captures a new dimension with the autumn color and the greater color and detail. I've traded yours for the < A HREF=http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo311704.htm>old one; although lately I try to never pick a favorite that already has that label.
HLJ, Pat

PixelTerror (86038) 2009-02-11 12:34

Hi Kath,
So you went all the way to the states to see something available in so close Switzerland, funny to see how this looks similar to the Seealpsee, 15 kms away from my new home.
Okay on that one you've been stronger on the saturation, but because I read the notes I won't write it's oversaturated ;-) Looks wonderful, still water and reflection play here a significant role.
Have a nice day JY

devimeuxbe (55853) 2009-02-11 12:36

Hi Kath
maybe the colors are too saturate but the picture is still amazing with a wonderfull landscape, a nice sharpness and light.
congratulations

cdmonson (2751) 2009-02-11 15:24

Hi Kath:

Hot dang, as we say in Texas! :) This is as good as it gets. I've seen a lot of pictures of the Maroon Bells, but this is possibly the best. Nothing better than Colorado in the fall, and this shot is exceptional. Don't really know what to say, except wow!

hi Kath,
I don't think I'll be able to come up with something that has not been said already. great shot, the streaks of yellow make all the difference, and the gentle curve of the shoreline is just perfect for the eye to glide along. calming, but at the same time energising shot, love it.

Angshu (33561) 2009-02-12 20:07

Hello Kath
'Blazing' photograph!! You're churning out picture postcards one after another, I am tempted to create a wall calendar with your pictures from US :-). What a palette of colours on display...blue, green, yellow & brown! Your framing is impeccable with exactly the same amount of space between the top of the tallest peak & the borders on either side...perfectionism! Nothing more to add or say really.
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello Kath,

What wonderful memories your postings must evoke. This sight must have rocked you to your shoe-soles!

The scene, with its wonderful colours, amazing textures and majestic mountains is fabulous, but when linked with its own reflection ... words escape me!

You have obviously chosen a good time and have composed the whole beautifully.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hellas (5117) 2009-02-13 2:30

Very good job, Kath!
Everything worked perfectly in order to have this impressive photo into your portfolio!
Very clear and sharp image! The proof that mountaineering is one of the most impressive sports in our life!

Friendly,
Athanasios.

josepmarin (33785) 2009-02-13 5:09

Hello Kath,
IMPRESSIVE!!!
What a big chromatic level in the beautiful colors of this wonderful scenery. The nice mountains and the forest with a few fantastic colors reflected in the water in a beautiful horizontal symmetry, composes a very attractive graphic symphony.
It is a very beautiful composition. I like a lot.
Best wishes,
Josep

cigdom (2230) 2009-02-13 8:45

Hi Kate,
As your other landspace photos, this photo is very nice,too.In this photo water is a natural mirror. And i think you had captured it very well. Vivid colours and nice details. Good work.
Have a nice weekend!
Cigdem

stego (22350) 2009-02-13 17:57

Hi Kath,

Only now I understand why most of the photos we see of this region look so saturated! If I didn't know you, I would think that you were another one of those that like to overdo the saturation (I have nothing against it if it's done "well").

But there is much more here than gorgeous colours. The view is breath taking and the reflection almost mind-blowing, not to mention the flawless compo. I particularly like how the reflection is slightly blurred on the BG and perfectly clear in the FG, producing a wonderful blending of the rocky bottom with the reflected image of the peaks.

A spectacular photo indeed! Congratulations!

It's so spectacular that the fine WS looks almost banal, which is very unfair, because it is also a great photo.

Regards, José.

pasternak (13238) 2009-02-14 1:22

What a great reflection shot, the light is so interesting here in that the colors are not darkened in the reflection as it often happens... the symmetric framing works well and I especially like this terracota color of the soil under water, goes so well with the other colors. Excellent work.

Cheers
A

PaulVDV (5148) 2009-02-14 4:29

Hello Kath,
This is a wonderful view of that lake. The reflections are great but I think it are the many colours that make this picture so beautiful. I specially like those different yellow tones that mix together with the green tones.
Well done.
Best regards, Paul

Kielia (8387) 2009-02-14 10:42

Hi Kath,
as usual is an excellent and informative note accompanying a very beautiful composition. The reflections are spectacular! And the colors are stunning. Phantastic photo work!

Omg Kath!!!
I missed so many great shots of yours, so I`ll just start with this one:
Just wonderful, a beautiful scene, the reflections in the water, the amazing colors and the majestic mountains. Simply perfect shot, many thanks for sharing!!!

Take care

carper (64580) 2009-02-21 0:00

I am going for this one Kath.
the reflection is strong, so strong that I must look a few times to see the lines in the shot, the colors are nice and it's a marvelous place for a landscape photographer a place to stay a longer time to made more shot from. very good photo job here Kath, I wish you a good weekend.

Hi Kath,
Belíssimo!
I've just seen the thumbnail of this picture on the main page of TE and couldn't resist to come here and look at. And I'm very impressed by this place and by this amazing view. The WS is very beautiful too and, as you said, we can also see what a difference the light makes.
Thanks for sharing,

Hi Kath,
I like these kinds of shots where the rocks under the water are visible, while at the same time you have a reflection of the surface. Wonderful colour combination with the green, yellow and blue and the scene is very impressive. Congratulations!!
