Today was stunning.  So we went in search of some colour.  Ritchey Wood Nature Preserve had some.

I didn’t want to lug around too much stuff.  So I just took my camera with my 50mm prime “nifty fifty”, which is my favourite lens.  Most of these were taken at f1.4.  You know, if you have a lens that opens to f1.4, why wouldn’t you use it?   Anyway, that’s why the shallow depth of field.  Even most of the longer shots were at f1.4.  At a distance the DOF is much wider, so the wide aperture just helps speed up the shot.  All were tweaked in Lightroom.  I have a preset called Fall which pumps up the colours.
