“Valley of Autumn”

 
© 2014 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

There was a brief window a few days ago at dawn when the light was stunningly good. The sun was risinig underneath a layer of cloud cover, and you can see the ripples of illumination in the sky. For a few minutes the light was very direction, skimming the tops of the trees and setting them ablaze. This road leads right down to the Ottawa River, and the ridge and treeline in the distance is the province of Quebec beyond. I have purposefully kept this one a hair underexposed as I feel it adds more punch to the color palette. This is one of my favorite lenses to use, and this photos is one of my personal favorites amongst my work.
