p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Yukon- Dempster Highway colors

Just got back last week from an epic road trip through the interior of western Canada. We went from Whitehorse to Dawson and then about 80 miles up the Dempster highway to the Tombstone mountains. The locals had told us that the colors were peaking and not to be missed. Very remote locations here. The Dempster highway is a gravel road and so you need to take your time and plan your fuel.

Here are a couple of shots of the views from the Tombstone mountain area. This area is about 75 miles north of Dawson City Yukon, getting up towards the arctic circle.

These are nice comps and the colors are very good. The processing is a tad pushed for my inclinations, but you have some beautiful shots here. Thanks for sharing. I need to get up that way.

Your shots really take me back to a trip my wife and I did through there several years ago. Beautiful fall colors.

Maybe a touch overdone (for my taste), but the scenes are wonderful, especially 2 & 3. I regret not driving up Dempster when I was in Dawson, even though it was late spring and fall is THE time to be there. Well done.

I really think you have some insane shots here, but the hdr processing needs to be swapped out. If you blended using some luminosity masks I think these would be killer. That colour is nuts!

These are well done. I like the "bigness" of #1.
