Sunburst on the Great Plains

It’s a new workweek and what better way to start it then with a beautiful image of dawn. Many of the leaves of this tree had already been claimed by the change of seasons but there were a few still holding on strong.

Aided by the golden light from the rising sun, the leaves seemed to glow. That same light lit up the wild grasses and illuminated the horizon in oranges and yellows. Up above, the gorgeous blue skies that Colorado is famous for. By using a small lens aperture (f/16), the ‘star burst’ effect is created.

Have a great week!
