Graveyard Fields – Milepost 439.0

by John MacLean Photography

"Graveyard Fields – Milepost 439.0" by John MacLean Photography

Location: Graveyard Fields – Milepost 439.0
Fall Colors on 2013-10-13

Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
Lens: EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
Focal Length: 102mm
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/25
Aperture: f/5.6
Filters: B+W Polarizer
Exposure: Manual
How I Got This Shot: This was just shot from the parking lot in mostly overcast/cloudy light. There was one patch of brighter cloud coming thru, which modeled the scene a bit more. Tripod, electronic cable release, mirror lockup, and live view focus on the bright yellow tree. RAW exposure processed in Adobe Lightroom 5.

I hiked to the upper falls for the first time after I shot this, but most of the color appeared to be already fallen.
