Yellow Leaves, Black Trunks, McLeod Rd

            Back in the midst of the Fall Colour season, I was meandering back roads in the area on the Niagara Escarpment between Grimsby and Beamsville Ontario and came across a stand of brilliant yellow woods in which were interspersed starkly contrasting black (nor near black) tree trunks. I stopped along the side of McLeod Road and spent a bit of time shooting there. Miss the colours at this point in the winter. - JW

PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: set final image size to be 8000px wide, set exposure compensation to EV+0.26 to slightly brighten the image overall, enable and apply the Graduated Neutral Density/GND tool and the rotate it to cover the bottom half of the frame and then slightly darken the foreground, use Tone Curve 2 tool in parametric mode to darken only the highlights, slightly increase the colour temperature to help offset a blue tint from the overcast skies, enable the lense Vignette Correction tool and use it to darken, NOT lighten, the corners and help reduce the brightness of the light area of sky in the upper right corner, sharpen (edges only), save.
