Chasing the Local Landscape
When most people think of going out for landscape photos they think road trip. Going to the Grand Canyon, or Yosemite, or the like . Not many people think of photographing the landscape where they live.
I talk to the local photographers here in Fort Worth and they all want to travel west. They tell me there is nothing to photograph here. They all complain about a lack of mountains, scenery and fall color .
While the mountain part is true, I find the local area quite scenic and have found many neat locations for landscape photography. The local knowledge I have here has allowed me to find rivers, bluffs, waterfalls and more. I have even found we have great fall color, you just have to know when and where to look.
I spent a lot of time this past week chasing fall color and photographing in locations, none farther than ten miles from home .
Thanksgiving is typically the peak of our fall color .The cedar elms and sumac turn in late October, then a progression of trees until the red oaks…
