After 3 fall outings, approximately 12 hours of shooting, and thousands (yes thousands) of attempted shots, I finally got the moment and scene I was after. You are looking at one of my hardest-fought images I've ever captured called DOWNFALL.
I nearly gave up hope during my last fall outing. I was on my way back to where my journey began near a tall, beautiful tree. The wind was starting to come up, and pretty soon strong, repetative gusts sent leaves raining down on me. I smiled sat down, then layed flat on my back and shot upwards to get the right angle. After multiple attempts of this composition, I did finally get what I wanted this fall season.
The result of the effort exerted here will never make me second-guess doing it again.
