Autumn Colors at Portland Japanese Garden

Click here to see this tree in its full autumn glory!

 

This was shot on a tripod with my Sigma 10-20mm ultra wide angle lens attached to my Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Three exposures (-2..0..+2 EV) was processed in Photomatix. Tone mapped and detail enhanced. In Photoshop, increased overall saturation, curve adjustment, and unsharp mask.

 

Fall colors have finally arrived at our Japanese Garden here in Portland Oregon. My wife and I decided to wake up early and go photograph "the tree" at 8 am before it opens to the public at 10 am. Membership has its benefits for sure. Many photographers were waiting in line afterward to photograph this famous tree. So, I guess, there were lots of other photographers who are members, too! So, here it is! My take on this Japanese Maple tree. Enjoy!
