Fall colours

[Sporgon]

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.

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 and dpc. It is beautiful up there.

@pgsdeepak; really like the portrait one with rock in front of the waterfall. I find it's difficult to get good portrait orientation landscape shots but this one works well.

From an outing today. 200 f2.0 at f2. I had a few colorful leaves directly in front of the lens as an overlayed color blur that I shot through.

Very nice shot Viggo.

Another one, same technique.

Playing with filters, pretty dark I know, I went brighter and subtly increased saturation as logic would dictate but to me it lost it's impact, so I left it as is
The darkened halo artifacts around the upper branches of the dead poplar tree kill me but I don't know what to do about them

More filter play

One last one

Lovely shots Viggo! I love the colour and lighting.

I think I have to try out that lens.

Thanks guys! And yeah, Eldar it's by far the coolest lens I have owned ever. It simply is.. Razor sharp anywhere in the frame and the epic blur combined with no ca and no distortion and tje wonderful color and contrast and, and.. you get the idea ;D

17mm f4L TS-E and 5DIII

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?

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.

OK, thanks very much. Hmmm, christmas is coming..........
Cheers Brian

The leaves are falling quickly around here - not many left.

We still have a lot of leaves on our trees. They may fall late this year.
Very nice photo!
