Fall colours

A few Autumn leave shots from a trip to Brandelhow Park on the West shoreline of Derwent Water, English Lake District.
Shot on my original 5D, all 24-105L. All hand held at 800 ISO, which the 5D mki seemed to be really good at.

Great ones! I really like the light and colours in the 2nd one with the gate.

Thanks Domino ! When I shot that picture I was convinced that I had taken it on the 50/1.4, and for quite a while used to refer to it has how good the 50/1.4 is. Then when I actually looked at the info on it I couldn't believe that it was 28mm on the 24-105, so after that I kinda realized that I couldn't really tell the difference !

Eldar, thats a fabulous shot. Do you mind explaining how exactly you used the Tilt or Shift in this shot?

I'd be interested in such a Lens for architecture, and know they can also be used for other fields too,
but I'm wondering how you used it here?

Cheers Brian

Dang.......
I was there the first two weeks in September, early enough to still have good weather (which we did have),
but too early for any decent colour.

Lovely shots.
Cheers Brian

Thanks Brian, Apparently that image resonated with quite a few. Post processing was done on a small laptop, so I have a better version at home (currently I´m traveling and on the same laptop). The blue/green and highlight/shadow settings in the upper part is not very good.

But to your question; It is a fairly straight forward shot. I start with a center focus and determine exposure when the lens is in neutral position. Then I use live view and zoom in on the lower side of the image, which is totally out of focus to begin with. Then I tilt the lens until that part of the image is in focus. I shot the image at several different f-stops, but prefer this one at f10.

Some more patient and structured than me would probably have shot multiple exposures and merged them, but this is a single exposure

Both this lens and the 24 TS-E are key arguments to stay with Canon. Phenomenal lenses.

I know I've promised photos, and some of them are already taken. I believe that colours haven't peaked here yet, and I plan to follow up within a few days with another session out and about in the foliage.
2.5 CF cards need to be downloaded and cleared before that next tour. So there could be some hours of editing before posting...
