Where I live, there’s a small window of time where all of the autumn leaves are still hanging onto trees before they completely fall off for the winter months. It’s ironic when the leaves die, they appear to burst with life. 

I’ve been using the Ricoh more and more for everyday adventures, trying to see just how great a photo I can take with the little camera. After several shoots and many tweaks of my settings, I have created a profile/recipe that gets me great results in camera, needing only minor adjustments in Lightroom to the curves and a slight saturation tweak. 

Want to try the recipe? Here it is! Enjoy.
