The saturated color in the west end of Hope Valley at Motif #1 is still allusive. It should be great for next weekend unless there’s snow or high winds. This photo was made on October 10, 2010 with a Canon 24-105mm zoom lens set at 70mm on a Canon 5D MkII full frame sensor camera. The exposure was 1/125 sec. at f-8 using ISO 400 and a polarizing filter. For information on exposure, lighting, filters and composition, please check our Tips and Techniques section.
