Autumn Explosion!!

• A little experiment. Taken at Westonbirt Arboretum. A beautiful orange Japanese Maple Tree, using a 70-300mm lens I set the camera to f/40 with an exposure of 1/5. With the camera on a tripod I began with the lens on full 300mm and during the slow exposure I slowly rotated the lens back to 70mm. Et Voila! I love the fiery explosive effect!
