I stood in this field for 35 minutes Friday morning to get about 30 seconds of light on this beautiful maple. Waited 15 more minutes and got maybe 30 more seconds of light. Then it rained...the rest of the day. So I drove 30 miles, stood for 50 minutes, for just 10 shots, and it was all worth it...LOL!

This is pretty much out straight of the camera with just a slight curve adjustment.

Nikkor 80-200mm F2.8 ED lens, Tripod, 1/20 sec at F22, EV-0.7, RAW.

Fantastic image. That menacing sky juxtaposed with the radiant light you waited so long to capture produced an absolutely stunning shot.
