Boardman is such a cool and unique spot to experience some of the best fall colors on display. It's taken multiple trips back to this area over the past month to finally get the conditions and composition that I was envisioning but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Such a cool spot. Enjoy!!
Tech:
-Sony ILCE-7r
-Samyang 14mm F/2.8
-Foreground: 1/4, F/13, ISO 100
-Sky: 1/160, F/8, ISO 100
-LR5 -> CS6, hand blended exposures via luminosity masks
Wow, that's one of the most unique photos I've ever seen! Obviously, a lot of work. Great piece of work. I have the same lens so I'm glad to see that there are endless possibilities when used with a little creativity.
That is very cool indeed. Somehow I associate Boardman with the beach in Oregon. Is this a different part of it, or am I just confused?

Ah, you're probably thinking of the Samuel H Boardman State Park along the coast. This spot is along the Columbia River right in the center of the state. There is a massive tree farm (25,000 acres) with just rows and rows of these poplar trees in various stages of growth. It's one heck of a spot for fall colors. Thanks for the comment!
