Winding road.800 1187, with story

Description

Fall came and went quickly this year in Brown County. 

There was a gradual changing of the leaves from green to yellow and some orange.  Then came the first rain in months and knocked most of the forest into winter overnight.  Had I not been traveling the roads daily to catch the peaks, I might have missed it all.  

This was the test shot with my Nikon, to set up the exposure for my Hasselblad 120 film camera (to be posted later this winter).  By the next day, it was all over and I am glad I was so dedicated to find the trees while I could.  Not that there were not some more possibilities, but clearly the main images were already gone by the next day.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.

This road is seldom travelled as it is quite narrow (one car width) and washboard bumpy.  As it is so steep, it is nearly impossible to carry a heavy camera and tripod by bicycle.  Using a polarizer helps to improve the saturation at the expense of two stops of light.
