I usually don’t direct readers to residential color but this color is on Excelsior Road in a rural area of Sacramento County. These liquid amber trees and chinese pistache are two of the earliest trees in the Sacramento area to turn color and they are the most colorful. This photo was made November 8, 2011 using a Canon 5D MkII and a Canon 24-105 zoom lens set to 55mm. The exposure was 1/180 sec. at f/11 using ISO 400.
