I had been photographing the fall colors down on the Mc Kenzie River in Oregon and had started coming home over highway 20 towards Sisters Ore. when I passed this field of brightly colored foliage. I slammed on my brakes and backtracked to it. I shot 3 rolls of film here. I have never seen such color either before or since. Glad I stopped. It started snowing shortly thereafter.

Your ability to capture color before it can run away is uncanny. You ought to contact the camera manufacturers and get them to pay you to program/design an auto exposure setting for the rest of us. I can see the commercial now ... "Get the new A3000 .. Now with Michael 3.0 ... Just set it to Michael and rest assured he's got your back" ........... Black & White film would now have to capture color or it would just sit on the shelf.

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Whoo, the fiery color is great Mike. You have a great talent for isolating a subject and making it easy to look at. I would have put on the Flintstone brakes to capture this as well;-0

This is really spectacular! It's especially good because it's nature's work, not a garden tended by people to be so beautiful. And you captured it so well.

Great composition. I love autumn more than any other season, probably because of scenes like this. Beautiful photo.
