Autumn Color in Glacier National Park

Yellow Mountain, Glacier National Park. Canon R5, 70mm, tripod, 1/25 @ f11, ISO 500

While winter has set in now, I’m still going through autumn photos. As I mentioned previously, Glacier National Park isn’t known for it’s fall color, but there certainly are areas where the color comes through. Many things came together perfectly the morning I photographed this scene. The aspens in the foreground were at peak color, there were nice high clouds that were beautifully colored at sunrise, and the angle of the sun to the mountain was perfect for capturing the morning color on the peak. Honestly, the morning was so incredible, I found myself shooting in several directions, using different lens and focal lengths, working quickly to capture the beautiful light as it changed over an hour or so.
