Photographer: Stan Bysshe

Location: Huntley Meadows Park,

Alexandria, Virginia

Equipment: Nikon D5, AF-S NIKKOR

80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR, Gitzo tripod

Situation: Huntley Meadows Park occupies

about 2 square miles of woods and wetlands.

It’s one of the best wildlife habitats in the

Washington, D.C., area and just 15 minutes

from my home. It’s a rare week that I don’t

spend at least one sunrise at the park. In

the spring and fall, when migrating birds

are passing through, I’m at Huntley several

mornings a week.

A year ago, I decided to try and create

images of Huntley through all four seasons.

I made several trips to scout the best areas

to capture some of the fall color in the park.

It turned out that sunset was the best time

for light on the woods across the marsh,

and I waited for the peak color to appear.

The day before a planned evening shoot, a

very strong storm tore across the area, and

in one night almost all the trees were bare.

Nonetheless, I decided to see how Huntley

had fared from the high wind.

Walking along the boardwalk through

the marsh, it was as if winter had arrived

in one day—there was no color. But I

spotted a lone maple at the water’s edge

that somehow was spared and still had its

bright red and orange leaves. I tried many

compositions, but the vertical tight image

turned out to be my favorite because of

the immediate contrast between the dark,

colorless bare trees and the red leaves.
