Over here, all the native trees are evergreen, with only a handful of introduced deciduous trees to give autumn colour, so it is next to impossible to get a shot such as yours that's full of autumn colours. Instead you get a photo that's mostly green with a splotch or two of brown. To add to the difficulty, we have such a short mild winter that what deciduous trees we do have, lose their leaves slowly, and not in a synchronised effort. It's not uncommon that in late July or early August, one tree will starting to give it's autumn colours, while the one beside it is starting it's spring bloom. Here are a couple of shots I took last year (as you'll see by the dates, 31/5/05, which is technically the end of southern hemisphere "autumn", although weather-wise it is when it is only just beginning). Last year we had a bit colder start to winter than normal, so it encouraged the trees to get their autumn colour a bit quicker and a bit more synchronised than normal. This is at a local garden with a Japanese theme, so it has about the greatest concentration of deciduous trees to be found locally. http://www.users.myall.net/grahamf72...&g2_itemId=359 or http://tinyurl.com/ylsftz Both with Pentax MZ-60, Sigma 28-80 Macro & Fuji Superia 100. |

I was gonna holler at you, but there just wasn't time as the visit was unexpected and brief. -- Mark Mostly photography... http://www.marklauter.com |
