18 November 2008 Fall colors in Japan this time
These are all taken from my balcony. The colors are all pretty realistic, and I have not increased the saturation at all. However, in order to get the great light and shadow I had to wait until late afternoon, at which point the sun was pointing almost directly into my camera, which kills contrast. So, I had to boost the contrast to keep them from looking completely washed out.
Love those red trees in the foreground
Bigger piece of the hill
The pool at which I swim a few times a week to battle my mid-30′s child-rearing gut
There’s something so delicate about the light on those hills that only partially comes through in the photo
