Autumnal Chromatic Aesthetics


Nothing screams autumn colour quite as brashly as the Japanese Maple. With Westonbirt Arboretum awash with photographers gathering in desperate clusters around any rare streaks of sunlight I decided to avoid the madding crowds and find some simplicity and tranquillity.

Straight from camera except for cloning out some small dots on the leaf. I took a few different exposures with varying aperture settings and a set of varying focal point images, with the idea of focus stacking them, but decided against all these in favour of this simple shallow depth of field capture taken at f/2.8.
