Fall Fire

With summer fading and fall just beginning, the cool mountain air offers a chance to gather around an early evening campfire along a ridgetop.

Mixing two different light sources, especially ones as dramatic as a campfire and the other a sunset well past its brilliance, makes balancing the dynamic range between the two a matter of timing.

Much of this can be manipulated in post, but what’s the fun in that when the evening only holds hours around a campfire until long past dark.
