Unfortunately this year I did not get to capture the fall colors at their peak but it has been anything but normal for so many, I should just be grateful for what was presented to me and be glad that the world is still spinning.
Have you ever wondered why the leaves change color every year, well to be exact they do not change color they lose color to be precise specifically the color green.
Starting in Spring leaves enter the picture as food factories for the tree, chlorophyll the chemical that that gives a leaf its green color soaks up solar radiation and converts carbon dioxide and water into carbs namely sugar and starch to feed the tree.
The colors you see in the fall foliage are present Spring/Summer the oranges, reds and yellows are just masked by the green chlorophyll, when the days get shorter the trees stop producing food and the chlorophyll breaks down revealing the other colors in the leaves, at least until they fall off.
I took this on Oct 03, 2020 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30mm Lens at 26mm 0.8 sec f/11 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
