The Purple-leaf plum on the north side of Capitol Park seems deeper in color than normal. Maybe it’s wishful thinking or I’m looking harder for saturated colors. This photo was made November 9, 2011 using a Canon 5D MkII and a Canon 24-105 zoom lens set to 93mm. The exposure was 1/60 sec. at f/11 using ISO 400 with a polarizing filter.
