The weather is cooling off – finally – and it’s beginning to feel like Autumn. The forecasters are predicting peek color in Eastern Missouri to be around November 9th this year. Gadzooks that seems late to me! Regardless I enjoy getting out in the crisp morning air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning I went over to Creve Coeur Park to see if the trees were starting to change. There is some color on the upper portion of the park where there are stands of old growth trees. The two images below were shot just around sunrise, although it was cloudy and the light level was very low and rather flat. The light (or lack thereof) didn’t add much mood or contrast to the overall compositions – which are pretty straight forward. But, I’ll have another go of it on Saturday morning when hopefully some directional light is available. I shot these with my 70-200mm lens at f11 and ISO 400. Shutter speeds were about 1\/2 second.

Reviewing both – I think I prefer the black and white image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
