The consolation prize as the hardwoods are bared is the turning of the larches, the tamaracks, that provide a last burst of color before winter sets in. There are sections that are loaded with them between my city and the city of North Bay that is about 2 1/2 hours northwest of me. I had to travel there on business this week and stopped along the way to capture this panorama. Tilt-shift lenses are great for panoramas both because of their low degree of distortion and the ability to use the shift mechanism for easy alignment. I’m reviewing this lens along with 3 others, a tripod, a flash unit, and some accessories right now. Busy!

Technical information Canon EOS 6D, Rokinon 24mm f/3.5 Tlit Shift, Processed in Adobe Lightroom 5, Photoshop CC, and Alien Skin Exposure 6
