I have been taking photographs of autumn leaves for over thirty years now. I love the notion that time in moving quickly, and the subject is fleeting, and the window of opportunity is very short.
And I have probably taken 10,000 photographs with fall color. It has always been my favorite film genre, and I have transitioned that into digital.
I have taken many broad landscapes, and mountain shots, and set up in cold streams trying to capture small instants of time in an ever deteriorating environment. What makes fall so special is that it is out of our control, and all that we can do is hope to preserve a small memento of its magnificence.
So when I see a beautiful tree like I did today, I know I have many, many shots of trees, and that this one will be one of the many in the collection of "nice to look at, but nothing special!"
But as usual, I was wrong. It turns out that this one was special, leaves dancing in the breeze and the sun at exactly the correct angle to capture the color against a dark blue sky.
And so, another November day in Newnan yields a visual treasure! The world is a beautiful place, and all is well!
