The weather this time of year in Southeast Texas is perfect, with the daytime highs in the upper 80 s and the nighttime lows in the upper 50 s. The summer humidity is finally gone and the evenings are pleasant and mild. Sometimes I miss the fall colors that I remember from my youth, especially when I start reading posts by Moose Peterson, Laurie Excell, Kevin Dobler or even Joe McNally. Right now, these folks are in Vermont for the fall DLWS event.
So I decided to create some fall colors in another HDR image, this time using Nik's Color Efex Pro plug-in for Photoshop. I got this idea after reading Josh Bradley's (Moose's assistant) new book The Official Nik Software Image Enhancement Guide.

Shots taken with a Canon 40D tripod mounted, 17-40mm f/4 L at 35mm, f/22 at ISO 200 on SanDisk digital film. The HDR file was made from three RAW images taken at 1/6th, 1/15th and 1/45th of a second and tone-mapped in Photomatix Pro. It was then exported to Photoshop and enhanced using Color Efex Pro's "Indian Summer" filter. Click on the image above for a larger version.
