Follow the yellow leaf road

Follow the yellow leaf road by pentax hammer (gary syrba).
Holy cow, accidents do happen.... #11 on Explore! Thanks guys! :-)

This one has a nicer glow when viewed on black - View On Black

Hand held 3 exposure HDR. Creekside Park, Gaines Township, Michigan. I notice sometimes people are surprised that my 3 or 5 exposure shots are hand held. I should explain.... I do hold my breath, move my elbows in, and try not to move. However thanks to Photomatix Pro, there is a selection you can click to align photos that are slightly off from each other. Ahh... the magic of computer software. Makes even a bad amateur like me move up to mediocre looking photos.... sometimes ;-)
