Hugh Carey: A blur of Autumn leaves

I wanted to find a good ‘autumn leaves’ feature before winter falls through. It’s pretty hard to shoot colorful leaves for a black and white newspaper. So I went for a picture with many leaves as possible in the frame and that had human element in it. The grassy mounds at the Mansfield Mall were perfect. The leaves were on hills next to sidewalks. I didn’t have to go up a building and shoot high angle shots of people and the ground. So, I walked around the Mansfield Mall looking for the right angle to get layers of hills with leaves on it and sandwiched it with telephoto lens.
