Fall Field Note: A Change of Seasons No.6
NOVEMBER 06, 2026
I have visited this tree every week this autumn. As much as I love the tree, it is very difficult to photograph. Today, rainy and overcast, the leaves falling steadily, persimmons still clinging to branches, I thought maybe I could make a photograph worthy of the scene. Picture- taking involved a rain jacket and boots, a step ladder, and a lens swap. My camera’s auto focus struggled to find focus on a tiny persimmon without much contrast against a variety of complicated and cluttered backgrounds. Not easy, but still very fun.
