Driveway

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted October 28, 2016137 views7 comments
When I first started coming down to this area 18 years ago the trees lining this driveway were just saplings.  They're doing very nicely now and make a closed arch over the driveway.  This is at the edge of our tiny crossroads town and these trees are always the first to really start showing color.

5DIII, EF70-200 f/4L @ 135 mm, hand held, f/16, 1/250, iso 640, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  A couple of distractingly bright objects cloned over.  Full frame.  Taken October 22nd at 11:32 AM.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Just follow the red leaf road...  What a great collection of red leaves, Dennis.  Some planner knew their trees very well.  The reds are great as is the tunnel through the trees.

Hey Dennis,
This is just beautiful, I love the mood it projects and the feeling of Fall is unmistakable.
Well done . . .  devil

Just the right perspective on these glorious trees, Dennis.  I guess it might have been possible to get in closer but then I do like the fact that we see a little of the fields either side of the pathway, placing it in context.

Wow, I can't imagine seeing this glorious redness every year.  Incredibly beautiful.

This reminds me of the driveways into the majestic southern mansions, although I've never seen the trees dressed in such beautiful fall colors.  Really nice capture.
