Autumn leaves (1)

Autumn colours seem to have appeared very quickly this year (and are almost gone already, judging from the the quantity of leaves on the ground!) Managed a couple of outings very recently - this set is taken at Hardcastle Crags, a favourite spot not too far away. All taken with K70 + DA 18-135. As usual, all comments welcome!

With such brilliant lighting the exposure for these wasn't easy (OK, so the camera did it but you still had to choose). 2 and 7 are good examples. What I particularly like are your flowing water scenes - that is exactly what they are, rather than the condensed milkiness so horribly favoured these days!

Very nice, Autumn colours stand out brilliantly!

Thank you, both!
David, I don't need to tell someone with your skill and experience, but yes, it was a matter of balancing everything - ISO, shutter speed, focal length angle of view etc - and making sure the burnt-out skies/reflected water were kept to a minimum. And it didn't work first-time all the time by any means!
