Autumn colored red bearberry and blueberry plants on the tundra in interior, Alaska. Canon 5D Mark III, 24-105mm f/4L IS (90mm), 1/60 sec @ f/9, ISO 400
The crimson red color that inflames the Alaska alpine tundra in autumn is so intense it sometimes hurts to look at it. I grabbed this photo while out on a day hike with some friends in the Alaska range. Labor day weekend is a pretty good target date to capture autumn color in its splendor in the mountain country of interior Alaska. I did not have my tripod with me on this outing, and a larger aperture would have increased the depth of field sufficiently.
