This was going on two weeks ago now. Hurricane Sandy did for most of the remaining leaves on Monday, so it would look a little different today. They mowed the field in the foreground for the first time I can remember, at least in the fall, so it is an unusual view of the buildings at Laudholm Farms in several ways.

This is an in-camera HDR from the Canon SX50HS. The University of New Hampshire has placed a “picture post” at the spot where I am standing as part of an ongoing 360 degree panorama project they are running. The idea is to put your camera on the post, lined up with the guides, take 8 images while rotating around the post, and then upload them to their picturepost site. You can find out all about the picture post project and see some of the results at the picturepost site. I just used the picturepost as a tripod for the HDR. As you might imagine I have several different seasonal variations on this shot.

Canon SX50HS. Program with auto iContrast and Shadow Fill.  24mm equivalent field of view. f5 @ 1/500th @ ISO 80. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.
