Maine! Young forest in October

Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve at Laudholm Farms, Wells, Maine, USA, October 2023 — lots of young maples along the edge of the salt marsh at Laudholm Farms create a interesting pattern against the October leaves.

Maine! Laudholm Farms Panos

I got out to Laudholm Farms (Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve) in Wells, Maine on our last sunny day (only sunny day last week) to record the last of the fall foliage before it is all on the ground. My new landscape and macro camera does not have in-camera “sweep panorama mode”…the first camera I have owned in years that is without it, so these panoramas are done the old fashioned way…4 HDR shots for the first, and 3 for the second, processed and then stitched together into a full resolution panorama in a program on my Mac called, strangely enough, Panorama Stitcher. It is fully automated and does an excellent job. All I have to do after the stitch is to crop and fill the edges to make a rectangle. One view is at the corner of the “front drive” at north end of the parking lot and the woodlot and fields there, and the other is from the little rise going in toward the beach, just before you enter the brushy edge of the old orchard, looking back at the neighboring farm and the Laudholm buildings themselves. These will benefit from a full screen view. 🙂 OM Systems OMD EM5Mkiii with 12-45mm zoom at 24mm equivalent. Program mode with in-camera HDR. Processed in Pixelmator Pro.

Maine! October Woodland Path
