I decided to travel up the local canyon with my daughter the other day. I knew that most of the color on the trees had fallen off. I wasn't expecting much, but it was good to be outside for a few minutes. I came across these few leaves that had fallen in the river. To take this picture I set the camera on a tripod and changed the exposure several times.

The Specs
f2/8
Shutter speed was 1/20s
iso 100

I set the aperture to 2.8 for a shallow depth of field because I wanted the leaves to be in sharp focus. I wasn't worried about the water or any thing in the water.

I like the many variations of color in the leaves
I like the texture of the water and the moss
I like the randomness of the leaves
I would like to take the photo again at a higher f/stop

I would love to hear what you think. Respond via the contact me link.
