Few things get my photo mojo kicked into high gear more than the autumn season here in Ontario: a pearl-grey morning sky, the smell of rain in the air, and leaves turning from green to crimson and orange to gold.

秋の源光庵: 悟りの窓と迷いの窓
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.
Delaware-Lackawanna train PO-74 departs Scranton with a good sized train for customers on the Pocono Main. The power this day was M636 3643 and 3007. This railroad, on top of the all Alco fleet, features tons of historical photo props including the former Lackawanna station in the background.
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.
I was working on all of the fall foliage photos I had taken, when we had the sudden snowstorm. Now, the 6" of snow we received has disappeared and everything is brown. November...my least favorite month (although March is a close second).
In this photo you see the beautiful Wrangell Mountains located about 30 miles to the east of our cabin - as the crow flies.
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.
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.
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.
SOOC shot - amazing viewed large.
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!

Behind the scenes....
I made this Pano using my 70-200mm lens @ 70mm. I produced 5 vertical images; each made from 20 focus stacked images using Helicon focus. Then using Lightroom / Photo Merge / Pano, and final edits done with Photoshop. I like producing wide angle Pano's with a telephoto lens and sharp front to back with focus stacking
West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.
Panorama view of West Pond at peak foliage color today.
As good as it is going to get.
It's another day with temperatures not much above 10 degrees [F]. These shots from mid-October bring back some good memories!
The yellow tree is a Sugar maple; the rest are Red Maples, mostly past their peak of color.
