Hints of Fall
Perryville Dam, Rehoboth, MA
No water was flowing over this dam just the week before last, but last week brought a ton rain. Fall foliage seems to be late around here, but it's underway. We had a terrible caterpillar infestation this Spring, so many trees only have partial leaves (notice all the bare spots in the background) which will detract from the Fall show. I hope they rebound next year.
I wanted enough exposure time here to smooth out the water, but it was really windy on this occasion, so I was contending with a lot of blur in the grass, leaves, branches, etc. This exposure seemed to be the best compromise among the shots I took.
I used Singh-Ray's LB ("Lighter, Brighter") ColorCombo---a dual warming polarizer and color intensifier. I was really happy with what it did with the greens in particular, and even with the subtle earth tones in the wall to the right.
