Forests abound near my home in central Pennsylvania. One of my favorite places to photograph them is a stretch of Kettle Road, a dirt road on a nearby mountain ridge. This road has a sinuous segment that creates a pleasing composition. I have photographed it in all seasons except winter, when it is sometimes difficult to access due to ice and snow.
I captured this image on Kettle Road one foggy October morning, as the leaves were beginning to turn their autumn colors. The mist helped simplify the background, lend an air of mystery, and diffuse the lighting.
