Fall in Northern British Columbia

Fall has come and gone from Ness Lake in a period of about 14 days. It is impossible to tell the peak in colours until after is has passed, so you just have to continually shoot though it. I never appreciated how short this season is, and how beautiful, until moving to Canada. Australia has almost no native deciduous tress which change colour, although it does have other bursts of colour like the Wattle wildflower season. This is a wider perspective across the lake to the one I previously posted (click to see a higher resolution version). It is actually ten 30 second shots at f/9 and ISO 100. They have been merged as a smart object in photoshop and then had a median function applied. This is a technique normally used to reduce sensor noise however more importantly (as at ISO 100 there is almost no sensor noise) it removed the splashes in the reflections created by the Loons and Grebes as they swam past occasionally. Taken in Northern British Columbia, Canada
