Both pictures were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T1i with a Tamron 17-50mm lens.
Fall1: ISO 400, 50mm, f/2.8, 1/60
Fall 2: ISO 400, 48mm, f/2.8, 1/60
I just moved to Hong Kong a month ago and have been struggling to find marks of fall in the city. The leaves are still green, the weather yoyo's from sun to rain and the closest thing I get to the fall season are the seasonal lattes now available at Starbucks. So when I was approaching how to tackle this prompt I realized that instead of focusing on changing leaves I had to capture what fall in Hong Kong meant to me.
Both the images are rain trickling down tree branches in Kownloon Bay. While it seems as if all the leaves have fallen off this branch, they actually have not because there were never leaves on these long hanging stringy branches to begin with. The cold wetness of the thin branches, along with the reddish brown colors transports me back to rainy fall days that I miss in Davis, California.
