Fall Color Up Close

 

Michigan landscapes right now are bursting with color, begging to be photographed with wide angle lenses or painted on giant canvases. My mission this afternoon was different. Instead of looking for stunning vistas from the highway, I went on foot around the edge of the woods and aimed in close, focused on sunlit leaves. Many of these shots were done in HDR mode, with three successive exposures stacked together, and the wind often kept those stacked images from lining up exactly, which is okay with me. At least one image was a ordinary single exposure. Nothing more seemed to be required. See if you can spot the one I mean -- and tell me which image is your favorite, because I'm having a hard time choosing myself.

Along the Way

 

Everything along the way was so beautiful that I kept turning around and going back, again and again. 

Field Corn, October

 

Until I locate my missing camera, the only photographs I can take are with my phone, and it's not an expensive, fancy phone, either. Still, better than nothing. Maybe.
