Leaves on fire in the autumn sun

Posted by Rune Stavdal

At the end of September, the sun suddenly broke through the clouds and set the orange leaves ablaze. I grabbed my SLR-camera and ran through the forest towards the sloping hillside a few hundred metres from our house where the evening sun had created a perfect lighting for capturing the beautiful autumn colours. I just kept the camera trigger down shooting as many frames as I possibly could. After less than half an hour of photographically unperturbed blissfullness, the magic simply vanished within seconds as the sun crept behind a mountain and towards the horizon. Two days later, the autumn wind stripped the trees of their leaves, and I felt lucky to have been at the right place at the right time..and this time with my camera.

    Har sagt det før og sier det igjen; naturen dør virkelig med æren i behold! Vakkert!
