Autumn Leaves

Gallery: FloraPosted December 6, 201568 views5 comments

A relatively simple single shot, single exposure 'abstract' based around the colours of autumn from the Taunus in Germany, during the time known as 'Golden October'. The colours have been pushed only slightly since they were pretty intense anyway. Such a shot requires there to be effectively no wind ...

A larger view can be seen HERE

The shot was taken with a Sigma DP3 Quattro using a Lee Big Stopper: F8, 8 sec., ISO 100

As ever, feedback always welcome.

Cheers, Mark

Mark: Frame filling fantastic. I like the relatively homogenous color of the leaves and just enough blue sky for contrast. >=))>

White Oak of some sort? I like the way the light fades to dark and all the way to black as one gazes into the tree. I also like the necessary blue behind the tree, giving a sense of place and providing a semi-complementary color to the various oranges and reds.

A very cool image, Mark. A real burst of color.

A lovely deep haze of colour, Mark - the glimpses of trunks and sky adding interest to the composition.

Thanks to all for the positive comments.

Phil, without knowing the species exactly I thought (at the time) it was a European Maple.

Cheers, Mark
