Good morning, good people of Mastodon.

I trust the day is treating you well. If it isn't, tell it from me to get its shit together and be nice.

Haven't had time to get out and track down autumn here yet.

So, here's some from last year.

Details in the ALT.

Have a great day

Luv&peace

A landscape orientation photo made during the autumn of 2023, at Todoroki Shrine in Tokyo, Japan. We're looking straight up into the momiji (maple) trees overhead. From left and right, the boughs of two trees are converging in the centre of the frame. The blackness of their branches the threads by which the whole frame of the photo is held together. The red leaves cover almost the whole frame, save for two sections in the middle top and middle bottom. Some of the leaves are brightly backlit. Some less so. The reds are vivid. It7s perhaps the last week of autumn flourish in these trees.
A square cropped photo made during the autumn of 2023, at Todoroki Shrine in Tokyo, Japan. It's the very last light of the day. And what a day it has been. This last light is magnificent. The foreground - a fence, a Japanese shrine lantern, some small trees - is all in silhouette. Sections of the trees overhead which aren't catching the sunset are silhouetted, too. A little of the yellow and orange colors of some of the leaves is still coming through as dusk falls. The clouds in the sky are dramatically kissed by the most beautiful deep pink hues. It's silent at the shrine. Myself and two other people are standing in the silence. In awe.
A portrait orientation photo made during the autumn of 2023, at Todoroki Shrine in Tokyo, Japan. This was made with an 80-200mm lens on my Nikon. At the 200mm end. So it's more of a detail of the leaves, with the tree itself reduced to bokeh in the background. The layers of red momiji (maple) leaves are a brilliant red. A branch full of them in the middleground of the photo is in sharp focus. Some leaves nearer to me are bokeh. The last of the sunlight, in the background, is rendered in golden bokeh balls.
A panoramic photo comprised of six separate vertically shot frames stitched together, made during the autumn of 2023, at Todoroki Shrine in Tokyo, Japan. This was shot at a short telephoto focal length - 105mm - and the same plane of focus was maintained across all of the individual photos. I like working in panorama like this: the perspective, viewing angle and depth of field of the long lens but the wide view you get when you shoot a wide angle of multiple frames and stitch them. A Japanese shrine lantern is the focus of the shot. It's lit, as dusk is approaching.We're standing on the deck behind the shrine's main buildings, at the top of the stairs that head down into the nearby ravine. Hence, we're at tre canopy height. It's a wonderful viewpoint. One of my favourites for autumn tree shots in Tokyo. Three or four trees are in the photo. At varying distances from the camera. Their trunks and branches are rendered a deep black, as I've pitched the exposure of the photo towards the bright elements of the scene. The sun is about to set. The last burst of light from it is right behind the lantern. The leaves on all the trees are backlit and their rich golden hues - from yellow through to deep red - give the whole scene a wonderful warmth.
