Austria series: Foggy day
This photo was taken on a very foggy day at the end of October. The visibility was low, but suddenly the clouds opened and these trees with their beautiful fall colors emerged amidst the fog. A few moments later they disappeared again ...
🇩🇪 Dieses Foto wurde Ende Oktober, an einem sehr nebligen Tag, aufgenommen. Die Sicht war minimal, aber plötzlich öffneten sich die Nebelwolken und gaben den Blick auf diese Bäume in den schönsten Herbstfarben frei. Nach ein paar Sekunden war alles wieder im Nebel verschwunden ...
A quick shot taken yesterday afternoon outside the back door of my parents house. The color here in Connecticut right now is very surprising given our serious serious drought.
The Pentax DA* 300mm is an incredible lens. Even though I'm the one who took it, I can't believe that there wasn't any saturation or sharpness added to the RAW file before converting. A good testament to what can be done with good light and an even better lens.

This shot was taken a few steps away from the North Lake campground near Bishop, California. I am used to something or other coming up during the very short fall window which we have here in California. This time I was determined not to miss my opportunity and wanted at least one shot of the beautiful yellow aspens and the towering mountains. After watching the California fall colors website diligently, I ventured a guess regarding when the North Lake Grove will be peaking and thankfully it perfectly aligned with the new moon date. So, I made a two-day trip to Bishop California. I reached just before sunset at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains to get my astro shot with the Bristlecone Pines and then drove to the North Lake campground to car camp for the sunrise shot.
After waking up and walking a few paces I was at this stunning location primed to capture the first light on the mountain peaks. I don’t think I will ever get tired of the sight of the first light of the day. Usually this light is very faint, and you have to pay attention to see the slight difference in warmth at the top but at the Sierras usually, the intensity of the warm tones is much higher and hard to miss. I only used a polarizing filter here and took care to meter on the light at the tip of the mountain. The camera and tripod were set as close as I could get to the freezing water and focus were manually adjusted via live view.
It's getting a little late to post fall foliage photos, as most of the leaves have fallen now. These three photos were taken last month on the same pond with varying wind conditions.
One of the first stops as one drives north on Alberta's Icefields Parkway. Pretty in any season.
Have a wonderful week!
The neighbor's driveway, which is long and lined with maple trees.
Below is a video of the same lane, if you like seeing trees and want to take a little walk up with me.
Just a few acres in size, but it's a nice sight to drive past, especially when the water reflects the opposite shore. The "headwaters" of this little pond are right up the road on our farm, and it becomes a brook that makes its way to the Susquehanna River.
This photo painting is based on a photo of a contact who lives in Canada and paddles his canoe on beautiful, pristine waterways up there. When I saw this photo, I asked his permission to paint it, which he kindly granted. See his original photo here - [and it's a beauty] - flic.kr/p/2mzkGUF
The painting does not improve in any way on the photo. I painted it for the pure love of painting a wonderful subject.
Maples at their peak of color, on every hillside. Autumn in the foothills of New York!!
The bare trees are most likely Ash trees, which lose their leaves very early in the season. Or perhaps they are dead or dying Ash.

I spotted this across the river while driving. By the time I found a place to pull over and got in position, the sun had disappeared behind clouds and I had to wait 20 minutes before it came back to shine a spotlight on those trees! I’m glad I waited!

I had spent the prior week in the park mostly getting skunked by blue and smoky skies ... not good conditions for landscape photography. But the first day back home served up this great sunrise. You never really know when Mother Nature is going to decide to put on a big show. Alta, Wyoming, USA, September 2024

The end of October, to be exact. Color was late to arrive this year [just like the cold weather and snow were late].
Taken at Shubie Park late in the day. Compositionally, not one of best...But I couldn't resist the snaking pathway. Heavily processed - In case you couldn't tell :o)
