Autumn leaves
I just can’t get over the brilliance of autumn leaves I sometimes see around here. This is a straight-out-of-the camera (SOOC) shot, no Photoshop at all, thank you very much. Sometimes I do tweak just a tiny bit, but rainy skies can be your friend in photography. The even lighting helps get a perfect exposure, even on the Auto setting. I also rarely crop. Compose on the fly, take lots, and hit delete if you don’t like it. Digital rocks!
Visit Ruby Tuesday for more red loveliness, and Color Carnival for more scintillating colors of all kinds.

That is definitely Sumac. It is an underrated garden plant, maybe the new types will change that.
Nicely done for straight out of the camera.

Autumn is considered the best perfect season paired off to Spring with all their compelling beauties and colours. And I think it is best to also leave the natural colour what the digital camera captures.

What a festival of red colors. Really gorgeous. You almost hate to see those leaves fall to the ground! Happy RT…

That is a beautiful shot! I love it that you don’t photoshop your images. I’m of the firm belief that nature shots should be natural, not photo-shopped to look perfect. 🙂
Have an awesome day!
