Stowe Birches
by Kurt Budliger
Birch grove near Trapp Family Lodge, Stowe Vermont (yes the hills are alive...)
I shot this scene years ago, shortly after buying my first dslr, a 20d. I returned this past Autumn to shoot it with some newer tech, bigger sensor. The color was pretty but something about it called out black and white this time around. Persistent wind forced a long wait (45 min) for a window without blowing ferns, as it was I had to use iso 800 with no filtration just to get 1/20 sec.

I have been to VT many, many, many times but never to the Trapp Family Lodge (though I wanted too).
Lovely scene, meticulously captured. The unusual perspective gives me food for thought.
