The Fallen
by Michael Bollino
Fallen leaves from Big Leaf Maples carpet the ground along a wide section of stream on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. As I set up the skies opened up, forcing me to deal with a soaking rain as I continued shooting for the next half hour or more. On the bright side the rain worked to intensify the fall colors present all around me.
Equipment: Nikon D300 Tokina 12-24mm GND

I'm a nature and travel photographer based out of Portland, Oregon. I've been lucky enough to witness first hand some of the planets great natural areas, from the Himalayas to Patagonia. Residing in the Pacific Northwest allows me to explore and photograph an incredibly diverse selection of landscapes and terrain.

Beautiful shot with rich deep colors! Autumn is a wonderful season, and you’ve managed to compose a great portrait of it. Here in Grand Ledge, the fallen sugar maple leaves make the lawns look as if they’re paved with gold coins. Very vivid potd!

Lovely! Being out in the rain in a beautiful place is great for the spirit, and for really good photographers… How does one protect the camera, anyway?

I love this photo. It has so many things that appeal to me, the vibrant fall foliage, the stream, the composition. I would like to ask if there is anyway to get it as my screen saver?
I’d love to look at it everyday this season
All the best
