Today’s featured photo of the day! October’s feature is: Fall Color/Landscapes

For the month of October I am featuring fall color and landscapes photography as the style. For today, I am posting a nice shot of another set of small trees in the last stage of fall on a partly cloudy day in Tinley Creek Woods in the Cook County forest preserves in Illinois. How colorful. Date – October 1981.

Photo taken with a Nikon EM camera through a Nikon 26 mm lens, filter=polarizer, Aperture=16 f/stop, shutter-speed 1/125th second, loaded with Konica ISO (ASA) 100 Color 135-20 Negative Film processed with C-41 Processing Chemicals, and a Type C Print using the RA-4 enlargement paper process, onto a 4X6″ semi-gloss print.

☼TIP: When taking a photo of unlevel ground, make sure the trees are plumb. Trees ALWAYS grow directly 90° plumb, and it is a reference point to getting the perfect shot. If using a tripod on an unlevel surface, make sure the legs are adjusted in a plumb fashion so that the camera is level. ☼
