Piper, JoLynn and Malorie decided they would get their cool weather outfits on and wait for fall. I didn't have the heart to tell them that they will have a long wait.

The weather has been so beautiful these last couple of days! I went home yesterday for the night and took some pictures. All of our leaves are changing color and it is so pretty!
Sorry I haven't been on much lately. I've been really busy with school. I also took a Little for my sorority and last week was big/little week. It was a lot of fun. :)
The 29th is the last day of my 365 project. I did take a photo every single day though I didn't post them all here. I learned a lot from the project. Mostly that I never want to feel rushed or pressured to create my work. I also never want to put something out that I'm not proud of. Photography is my passion, but I also have other commitments in my life most importantly college. Maybe sometime in the future is I get a spare year I'll try this project again. But for now I'm happy just creating.
Thank you to everyone who has ever viewed a photo of mine. Your support means so much to me. I love this community and you all are my constant inspiration.
Have a great week!
Much love,
Caitlyn.

I have been messing with Photoshop actions today. This one is free from Elusive Actions.
when I took this picture
FALLING is the topic for Thursday 6th September 2018, group our daily challenge
I did this on purpose just for something a little different than your straight angle shot. Then I realized that there is a tree there in the center that is leaning too so I guess we're actually looking at it straight if we go by that tree, RIGHT?

Nice warm October afternoon in the North. 75 degrees F, but rain and wind is on the way, so grab the colors of autumn while you can.
I’ve always enjoyed how waterfalls become transformed with slower shutter speeds, with blurring water showing smooth lines and a visually beautiful appeal that we can’t see with our own eyes. I put these images in the same category of “the unseen world” that most of my work fits into, and the equipment to do this doesn’t need to be extreme!
I was lucky that this small portion of the Krushuna Waterfall in Bulgaria was in shadow, since I wasn’t properly prepared for waterfall photography. I’d normally carry a neutral density filter with me to get this effect more easily, but this was shot with only a Lumix GX9 and the 12-32mm compact kit lens. ISO 200, F/18, and the resulting shutter speed was 1/4th of a second. I normally like to get a little closer to a full second-long exposure, but the water was quite calm and cooperative at longer exposures. I’m scratching my head to figure out why I didn’t shoot at ISO 100 though!
A neutral density filter would block some of the light from entering the lens without me having to resort to such a small aperture. This can be useful for video when you want a wide aperture, but a shutter speed around 1/25 or 1/50 sec to match your framerate. For stills, ND filters allow for you to more effectively blur things like water or clouds without compromising on other camera settings. An aperture of F/18 might begin to introduce diffraction and limit my resolution for an image such as this, but you work with what’s in your bag, and I was traveling light!
Any issues with diffraction would be negated by the fact that this is a three-shot vertical panorama. The increase in resolution by shooting it as a panorama would more than make up for any shortcomings elsewhere. Knowing that a certain amount of post-processing would be required, I sat down with the image for a couple of hours and really fine-tuned the look and feel.
Images like this can feel flat right out of the camera. Spending some time with classic dodge and burn tools in Photoshop can help add a little extra depth and contrast to the image, and the more localized you make the adjustments the better the end results. The water textures were enhanced using the Structure slider in ON1 Photo RAW which I am MUCH preferring to the clarity adjustment in Lightroom / Camera Raw. Subtle details pop without feeling overdone, especially in shadow areas. Dial this structure enhancement over just the areas that need it, and you’re on your way to a better image.
On a tripod at these slower shutter speeds, but the rest of the equipment was as minimal as could be. Just a small travel camera and one of the least expensive lenses I could pair with it. Even a more expensive lens would not have avoided the time in post-processing to make this image sing, and I’m pretty happy with the results!
I need to go through more of these Bulgaria photos before they fall off my radar and winter subjects grab all my attention! :)
This photo was taken from Burnaby Mountain in Burnaby near Vancouver, Canada on a lovely fall morning. You can see a view of the Burrard Inlet in the foreground, followed by Belcarra and Indian Arm (an 18km/11mi long fjord). Since it's such an expansive view I decided to crop it to a panorama.
About this photo: We've been having some terrible wet weather this November and I haven't had the chance to go out and take any new photos yet. So, this is one from the end of October when we were enjoying some beautiful sunny weather and beautiful fall colours. So, I drove up to Burnaby Mountain (about 10 minutes driving from my place) in hope to find some beautiful colours and to enjoy the great views. I really liked this view, although some trees are a bit in the way...but that's mother nature and that's something I can't ommit. Enjoy!

Some information on Burnaby Mountain: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Burnaby Mountain is one of the beautiful places to visit in Burnaby and is located near the Simon Fraser University. The views over the mountains, the Burrard Inlet, downtown Vancouver and Indian arm from up here make it such a great place. This is a fairly popular destination popular visitors and locals alike. The green hillside offers room to throw a frisbee or send a kite soaring. There is a network of trails which offer a variety of hiking, walking and jogging options. There is also a playground tucked away in the upper hillside.
The Centennial Pavilion area features the Rose Garden, with its vibrant colours in season and a great variety of roses. Nearby is the acclaimed Horizons restaurant and two majestic totem poles, a reminder of the community's proud native heritage. Towering over the distant city are the tall Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculptures. The Kamui Mintara is more than a dozen carved poles created by Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei. These impressive sculptures commemorate the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city, Kushiro, Japan.
Burnaby Mountain is a great place to enjoy in any season as there are always the beautiful views over the city, the mountains, the Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm (a coastal fjord of about 18km/11.25mi long).
This shot was taken with canon 17-40mm. I dont really like that lens very much, is it possible that I don't know how to use it? seems like it's never really sharp, kind of blurry... let me know what you all think if you own that one :)

秋天是一個奇妙的季節, 這棵 Nandina 南天竹的樹叢, 從初秋時開始慢慢的變了顏色, 到了冬天打霜過後, 葉片的顏色更是多樣化了!!
我拿著相機登高竄低左顧右盼, 就想找個好角度把我眼中看到的美色留影下來, 怎奈眼高手低, 照了N多張都不甚滿意, 一 直到老公催促了, 才不甘心的罷手了!! 120915
At the center of the mountain is the Lac Hertel, a lake in a glacially-formed depression in the middle of the various summits. It covers an area of 0.3 square kilometers, and has a maximum depth of 9 m (30 ft). It is fed by three permanent streams; a fourth flow from the lake toward the Richelieu river. The lake serves as a secondary reservoir of drinking water to the region, and, as such, swimming, fishing and boating are forbidden.[7]
The central position of the lake in the mountain has led to claims that states Mont Saint-Hilaire is a volcanic caldera. However, the lake is actually the result of glacial erosion, and in no way an ancient volcanic crater.
We started the Summer with tornadoes, shook it up a little bit with an earth quake the other day and now we're prepping for a big hurricane....maybe Fall will be a little calmer? :)
I walk by these trees almost everyday with my dog. I decided to get a different view of them using a wide angle lens.
Enchanting Fall colors to brighten a gloomy day.
As the season is drawing to a close there will be winter snow ahead. Blessed to live in a area that brings four seasons to the valley.
Thank you all for your warm visits, comments, faves and invites.
Photo from Hareskoven north of Copenhagen, Denmark.
I came across this pond a couple of months ago but now it seemed like the right time to shoot it. Actually I had planed for another view and background but trying to get there, I almost slipped when stepping on the stumps. So I decided to make them foreground in this photo.
HDR photo (-2, 0, +2) made in Photomatix and finetuned in Lightroom with Trey Ratcliffs presets (I used mild, mild, mild) and shot on the Adrian tripod (2.generation) from 3 legged thing.
The colors are starting to develop here in the northeast and it looks like this will be a good foliage season in the New York area; it's certainly my favorite time of year with crisp evenings and brilliant, clear days.
The lone leaf wasn't added in Photoshop; it placed itself in nice position as I was framing this shot. A polarizing filter added a bit of punch to the already deep blue sky.
