Tired of wildflowers? Going back to some fun Fall photos from Dallas Creek Divide.

Shot with Pentax 645N on Velvia 100. Scanned when developed at North Coast Photo. That results in a 17Mpixel file, but each pixel is full RBG, not interpolated. This picture nicely how Velvia produces warm and rich reds and yellows. I made minimal changes in ACR, taking the luminance down a little in the green pine trees.

The colors in the oak trees last fall were spectacular, ranging from dusky browns & reds through dark reds and oranges. This group of oaks really was almost this orange.

Nice range of colors.
