October 30, 2013 – Year long photo challenge

10.30.13 Fall-Lone Tree in Hopkinsville

This month’s photographic challenge topic is “Fall Photography.” I’ve had a tough time choosing my picture for today as I got several that I really like, but this one of a lone tree with most of it’s fall leaves gone and the afternoon sky in Hopkinsville, Ky won out as my favorite.

This is a image was shot with my D800 on RAW. Exposure info: 1/2500sec f/5.6 at ISO 100 underexposed by two stops, with a Sigma 24-70 lens at 62mm. By underexposing by two stops from what the camera meter gave me I basically exposed for the highlights in the sky so I could keep the detail.
