Autumn For Me

Autumn For Me
Autumn for me, first and foremost, is going back every year to this maple tree that is at the edge of my little town and photographing it when the leaves turn. I've been photographing it since 1979. I always look forward to it and then when I've taken that last shot, I find it hard to leave for another year. For the Saturday Self-Challenge Group - Autumn.

This is my favorite angle to photograph "my" tree. This shot, along with the above one, were both shot on October 27th, 2016, with my Sony SLT-a77v DSLR. (Of course I took pictures of it with my film cameras, I just haven't finished the rolls yet.) It had rained the night before I took this year's picture, so the leaves finally turned. On the day I actually took my picture, it was cloudy still, so I'm sure the colors turned out really saturated:

This is what my Fall tree looked like the very first year I shot it, back in 1979:

Old maple trees just look so beautiful, especially in autumn! =)

But also maple flowers and "noses" are something I just can't wait to see! I also have few favourite maple trees I keep on shooting year around.

Wow, Kenny, what a beauty! I love this progression and how you included your image from 1979. I just love seeing how it's grown after all this time. Beautiful job on this. :)

Beautiful tree and nice composition.
May be it's an idea to make the photos from 1979 until now into a series?

What a great idea to archive the history of this beautiful tree. Photography is best when it tells a story.
