It was a beautiful fall day on Marshall Pass, in southern Colorado. Aspen leaves were beginning to blanket the road. To emphasize the fallen leaves, the camera and lens were placed low to the ground. A 10mm focal length was used to give a very wide angle of view (equivalent to 16mm on a 35mm film camera) . The aperture was f/22 to maximize depth of field.

Canon 20D, Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens at 1omm. Aperture: f/22. Shutter: 1/8 second.
