Ghosts of Autumn Past - a photo on Flickriver

We are now deep in to the dog days of summer, being either baked by heat or drenched by rain here in the south, and my thoughts turn to those crisp autumn days and delightful fall colors. In fall of 2017 I took a trip out west to Portland, Seattle and BC. Met up with Kevin Benedict and drove out to Boardman OR where the incredible Boardman Tree Farm was located. I say “was” because it has been sold and most of these stands of Poplar trees have been harvested and converted over to cattle range. Good article on the Boardman Tree Farm operation (before it was sold) here: www.amusingplanet.com/2013/09/boardman-tree-farm-of-green...

I love the delicate waviness of the trunks in this particular stand. The leaves were also nearly uniform in color and at absolute peak gold, a few more days and they’d be turning brown and/or dropping. We spent the better part of an evening and a morning exploring the different stands and trying some different experiments. I tried several panoramas but I didn’t really compose them correctly. It’s a shame that I didn’t try one on this particular stand because I’d love to have a slightly wider shot and a pano format would make for a delightful print. I may try a print anyway, need to start experimenting more with printing.

Not wishing away summer, as I do love the warmer temperatures, but at the same time I am so looking forward to fall photography! I've only posted one shot from this location before but have quite a few I could post so it seemed like a good time to revisit. Shot with Pentax K-1 and Pentax 70-200mm using Pixel Shift feature.

Edit: well, somehow the jpeg export of Lightroom just murders the saturation on the yellow leaves. Had to go back and bump up sat a bit to try to compensate.

Edit2: that didn't work either, still comes out very flat, lacking in vibrance. Switched the default sRGB colorspace to 'Display P3' and that is much closer (at least on my display).
