While visiting Creamer's Field Nature Trail in Alaska, I was lucky to have a beautiful fall day. Using intentional camera movement, I wanted to accentuate the tall white birch trees. With light snow on the ground, I could sense the transition from autumn to winter. The warmth of the grass combined with the wintery blue sky created a seasonal backdrop for the spectacular birch trees.
