Autumn Falls

Uploaded: October 22, 2010

Description

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.

f/16, 1/13, 24-105mm at 24mm, ISO 100, tripod

Exif: F Number: 16, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/13 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

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.
Have a great weekend and take care. #8991107
