Castle and Color
Uploaded: September 28, 2008
I have been waiting to get this shot for two years. Although I tried many times in the previous fall,I never caught the perfect sky with the colored leaves. My attempts last year gave dull results because, the sun was never in the right position. This year I had a small dark cloud that covered the sun for just a few seconds giving me almost perfect light, with a blue sky, a hint of cloud, not many hard shadows, and the beautiful color of the changing leaves before they fall to the ground. I have waited and WAITED to get this shot, and this to me is the most beautiful shot I have ever taken.
