Fall colours

[Valvebounce]

Hi DominoDude.
That is incredible, thanks for sharing. I'm guessing its fortunate it wasn't a truck in front of the artwork.

Cheers, Graham.

To me much of autumn starts with the harvesting of apples, and it ends with all the brightly coloured leafs falling of the trees.

Last autumn I was out with a few friends shooting. Here's a few megapixels worth of 35kA (kiloApples).
I had walked around for a few minutes trying to find a composition that would work for the UWA, but it just wasn't possible to find one. Had to back away quite a bit to get the entire artwork in frame with another lens. Settled for this one where I could make it look like the arrow on the sign points to Eva. Couldn't get rid of the car in the background.

The apple art is called "Paradispar 2013" - Paradise couple 2013.

They say "search for the light". I found it in the forest today about 15 minute before sunset.

That light is crazy good, ichetov! Did you use a reflector or flash to bring the bark on those trees up from the shadows, or is it a good use of HDR?

I am curious also, great shot there.

That is just too much, Don. You are way too good at this! The colours of the sky and the leaves are amazing. *all thumbs up*

Two weeks earlier and that could have been arranged, Graham! There were trucks hauling in loads of apples for a while there, and a dozen or so people climbing the scaffolding creating the art. After that came the opening of the Apple market and the entire distance from me to the artwork would have been filled with the necks of people. Extremely popular year after year, since the artwork is new and no one knows what it will be. The village population goes up by a factor of ten I guess during the weeks of the market.

This is a fantastic picture, Eldar. I love the colours and the composition. I've always wanted a TS-E lens but something else always seems to come up. Great work!

Thanks dpc, much appreciated. To me, the 17 and 24 TS-E lenses are key reasons to stay with Canon. They are both exceptional lenses. Having seen a lot of your posts, I think at least one of them would fit your bag nicely.
