Denver Park Fall Colors #2

Despite having quite a nice Fall here in Colorado, I was unable to get decent images when the colors where at their best. With kids and being busy I was not able to scout locations and then go back when the colors and light were good. So I though I was going to end up with nothing I really liked and took a few macro leaf shots.

However, in the end I did get two photos that I quite liked. Both at local parks when taking the kids out to play and both in what would normally be considered sub-optimal lighting. However the clouds and sun angles happened to be favorable and I think I got at least close to decent light.

This is the second I took. I was really not expecting to take anything decent, but had my camera in case the boys did something or just on the of chance…...well you never know. Through the mass of playground equipment, trees, power lines and all the other clutter I spotted these two trees partially backlit by the sun with uncluttered mountains in the background. I had to wait about 20 minutes for the clouds to form a decent and complementary shape..

A couple weeks ago we installed new playground equipment at Christ Lutheran on Yale and Franklin here in Denver. This week, he's been testing it out. I think it passes.
