"Landscape, Leaves..." - (Marcel)'s Choice

To quote Marcel, "Fall colors. Leaves, trees, landscapes, just get your butt outside and spend quality time with your Nikon." Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Sep. 26
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.

The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

It could be something related to "Harvest", fall colors, pumpkins... Come on Pat, get the creative juices flowing again.

This one was a real challenge. Today I drove up the mountain to get a shot of this lake, only it started raining on the way up, then heavy fog and had to stop to wait it out with about 15 miles of winding mountain road left to cover. By the time we got to the lake, it was late and the light wasn't great and the lake was somewhat choppy. Get out the tripod to do some long exposure shots with the ND filter. Extended the legs on the tripod only to have one leg come apart. Aaaah!! I had to get it back together because that was the shot I had to get. Finally, but of course now it was even darker. A light bulb came on. Try six or seven shots from 30s - 15s in increments of 5s and combine them in an HDR. Here is the results.

Adding camera info since its apparently not showing, I loaded the picture from my laptop. Anyway it's shot with my D850, Sigma 14-24 at 24mm. f/11 and 1/200's. This is at the North Rim of Grand Canyon Imperial Point Rd.

It is supposed to be a "challenge", right? ;)
