Description
Photographed a few weeks ago in Crested Butte, Colorado. When I first began photography, I came from a background in Illustration & fine art. I studied it extensively and have a BFA in Illustration. I learned a lot from those formative years and one of my biggest influences back then and to this day is master painter Albert Bierstadt lmgtfy.com/?q=Albert+Bierstadt he taught me how to see light in ways many never did (sans JW Turner) I learned a lot from him and to this day I apply the techniques a lot of the time in my photography. Here in this scene, thunderstorms were beginning to roll in over the West Elk mountains and the light, while subtle and diffused, was still there, casting a very atmospheric heavy glow across the landscape. I think many photographers today could learn a lot from studying the great artists from the Hudson River School of painting. If you need inspiration, then look no further.
