Golden Birch

It's mostly been quite a nice day today although there have been quite a few showers blowing through. 

I love silver birches with their autumn colours so I went out the Luscombe Valley to see if I could find one. I thought at first I'd missed out as the ones I saw had already lost all their leaves. I followed another path which soon petered out but I could see a tree which still had its leaves. I had to get in a position to photograph it against the sky though. My blip is made from three shots, two long exposures and one standard exposure. When combined at different opacities this gives a little shimmer in the sunlit leaves.
