Autumn Falls
Uploaded: October 22, 2010
Promised Land State Park, PA
As I climbed back up the bank I was hit by all this beaming yellow. I set up my tripod to accomodate its presence, turned the circular polarizer to "dust off" some sunshine from the leaves and turn up the blue sky.

Lucky you, you at least got some fall color. Glad you looked up and the polarizer is the only way to go for fall colors, like you said it dust off what you don't want and gives you the sky you dream of.Looking forward to the Zion photos. Ar you going to see Chris? #8989654

Marty- Overhead shots like this are alot of fun to do and one gets some gorgeous rsuits as you have here. Ihope to get some like this as I have a week off and am going to do some fall pictures. I think the lighting is what makes this type of picture as it puts a shine and glow to it and really boost the colors. Then when its against the gorgeous blue sky it just stands out even more. Beautifully done my friend.JO ANN CLEVELAND October 23, 2010
