It has been awhile sense I shot fall colors in Denver. With the wet summer and recent warm weather, it would be interesting to see what the area looked like. I picked an old friend of mine, Washington Park.

Solution.

Arriving at the park in the late afternoon, the first thing I noticed was that roses were still in bloom, along with other flowers. The trees had turned nicely and the grass was still green. The combination of these colors would make a real nice image. To do this was pretty easy, I found a nice setting and used a wide angle lens. By using a large depth-of-field I was able to get everything in my photo sharp.
