I have been out the last couple of days scoping out the progress of the fall color changes in the area. Things are happening a bit earlier this year than in the past and there are some aspen stands that are fully changed. This is a shot from a favorite aspen grove up Clear Creek Canyon north of where I live. The trees are spaced out evenly on fairly level ground and have nice straight trunks. This is perfect for the proverbial shot looking straight up.

I decided to try out my fisheye lens that I puchased earlier this year. It was pretty fun. It isn’t easy to work with on a tripod, so I cranked up the ISO and just shot bursts handheld. The challenge was to hide the sun behind one of the tree trunks. With a fisheye lens, it is almost always in your shot!
