This image was taken back in the early stage of autumn back in October at the woods near Stourhead.
I was fortunate to be able to capture the golden colours of autumn before Mother Nature decided wind and rain would be best.
The transition of colour was something that was noticeable. I wanted to capture this transition against the ever green forest or vice versa. To achieve this I adjusted the focal length to move further into the landscape, which was also helped by switching between FX and DX to help crop into the scene and adjusting the composition.

The Transition Report 2016-17 casts a spotlight on inequality and inclusion, explaining how a failure to deliver a fair distribution of the fruits of progress may lead to setbacks in political and economic development. It also explores the causes of inequality of opportunity and looks at how to strengthen financial inclusion.
Tracking the successes that have been achieved in post-communist societies, the report concludes that the “happiness gap” has finally closed with people on similar incomes in non-transition countries, but warns that not everyone has shared in this economic prosperity.
This latest annual analysis draws on a wide-ranging survey of people who have experienced transition first-hand.
A fallen autumn leaf lying on the forest floor, one amongst many, in transition, slowly decaying and disintegrating, is it an ending or a beginning? Giving life to the tree through spring and summer, then slowly dissolving into the ground beneath to be absorbed by the soil to feed the tree from below and then all to begin again.
The ends of this maple leaf are dark red, but it transitions from orange to yellow from one end to the other.
One of the best parts of watching a Triathlon is the transition areas. In this case, the contestants were going from the swim phase to the bike phase. The bikes are parked on the other side of this bridge near the white tent. The building in the background is the Iowa Capitol.
The 5150 US Championships is held annually in Des Moines. This is an absolute blast to watch. The 5150 is a world-wide triathlon series that is essentially the "major league" of olympic distance triathlons. These are world-class athletes competing for a lot of money. First place won $151,000.
The 5150 races consist of: 1.5K swim, 40K bike and 10K run. It will be the largest international distance triathlon series in the world and will be the first non-drafting international race series of its kind, offering a competitive platform for professional and age group athletes. The 2011 event schedule will offer 12 domestic events as well as a handful of international races. The Hy-Vee Triathlon will host the 5150 U.S. Championship, offering professional athletes the opportunity to compete for $1 million in prize money.
Coincidentally "5150" is slang for crazy person on the loose. Don't believe me? Check out urban dictionary's link below.

FORD Motor Company Fund, collaborating with the Los Angeles Chapter of the Freedom Sister’s and the National Veterans Transition Services, to address the many challenges women face as they leave the military back into civilian life. Presented a graduating class of 12 women at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in beautiful Beverly Hills California.
The Beverly Hills Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel was filled with an energy of excitement and encourage as 12 brave women who have served our nation entered the room for their graduation ceremony. These 12 woman embody intelligence, bravery, courage and sheer beauty.
The 2015 Freedom Sister’s Reboot Graduating Class #71 are as follows:
Eve Estrada (US Army Veteran), Doreen Ferris (US Army Veteran), Yolanda Franklin (US Navy Veteran), Tina Hammer (US Army Veteran), Yesenia Henshall (US Army Veteran), Heathra King (US Army Veteran), Lora Pietszak (US Airforce Veteran), Pamela Richardson (US Army Veteran), Monikkachelle Santos (US Navy Veteran), Rolanda Shells (US Army Veteran), Christina Silva (US Marine Veteran), Julienne Wills (US National Guard Veteran)
Freedom’s Sisters REBOOT Workshop takes its name from Ford’s earlier support of the Freedom Sister’s traveling exhibition, which celebrated the life of women civil rights pioneers, as well as present-day women who are making a difference in their communities. Several current members of the Freedom Sisters from the Los Angeles area will serve as mentors for the women’s’ REBOOT workshop in Los Angeles.
Freedom Sister’s REBOOT workshops are free, three week course for women veterans in Los Angeles. This program is specifically designed to address the many challenges and difficulties women face when returning to the uncertain future of being a civilian.
The courses ran for three weeks on the campus of National University where the women were able to attend free classes five days a week which focused on employment and career opportunities, personal well-being, goal achievement and makeover session to establish their overall style after their careers in the military.
As a group compared to men, women veterans are less likely to be married, and are more likely to be single parents and unemployed. In addition to higher rates of homelessness, they also often face gaps in medical care for women’s health issues as they enter a veterans system geared toward treating males. These issues are expected to grow as the number of women veterans increases. Women are expected to comprise 11 percent of the veteran population by 2020, up 9 percent.
“These brave women have served and sacrificed to defend our freedom, and yet there are few programs that address their unique needs as they return to the home front and to their families,” said Pamela Alexander, director of Community Development, Ford Motor Company Fund. “It’s another opportunity to say thank you, while also helping them make a successful transition.”
“We designed this program to meet the unique needs of women, and the training builds upon the participants’ military training, skills and experience,” said Maurice Wilson, co-founder, REBOOT Workshop and retired Navy Master Chief Petty Officer. “The workshop addresses the professional, social and personal aspects of life, along with connections to community resources that could also be of help.”
Ford’s support of military veterans dates back more than 90 years, when Henry Ford organized a cross-country caravan of 50 Model T Fords to take disabled veterans to the 1922 national convention of the Disabled American Veterans in San Francisco. Since 1974, Ford and Ford Fund have provided more than $8 million to veterans’ organizations. Today, Ford employs more than 7,000 veterans plus hundreds of active military personnel, reservists and guardsmen.
As a photographer and activist fighting for the rights and protection for the homeless and love income individuals here in Los Angeles, it was indeed a huge honor to once again serve as the sole and official photographer for FORD Motor Company.
It’s going to take some bold out of the box thinking, backed by people who truly care about overall well-being of humanity to effectively address and create positive change that affect the lives of these women and thanks to the bold thinking of FORD, the Freedom Sister’s and Maurice Wilson the ball is now moving forward in a direction of real change for women who need it right now.
I get to cover celebrity red carpet events all the time, but when I’m able to cover red carpet events such as these, my soul leaps because I am able to see first-hand just how much new ideas and positive thinking can truly change the lives of those who need it most.
Having the honor to see the smiles on the faces of these women as they walked onto the red carpet to cheering photographers congratulating them, thanking them for the service to this country and snapping their pictures was so amazing. Then hearing some of their personal stories and accomplishments and see just how very bright the future truly is for these courageous women was incredible.
Its red carpet events such as these that remind why I love photography so much. It’s companies such as FORD and organizations such as Freedom Sister’s that remind me, encourage me, implore me to continue my work for homeless individuals, low income families and individuals living with HIV or AIDS because it is the right thing to do.
Its phenomenal women such as Pamela Alexander, Angela Polk, Lynn Quigley, Beverly White, Cheryl Hudson, Phoebe Beasley, Valerie Blackburn, Daphne Bradford, Glenda Gill, Lawanda Hawkins, Rosie Lee Hooks, Denise Pines, Jessie Sherrod and KC Tuckness who encourage and remind us of what it means to be of service to those in need.
It’s events and red carpets like these where I have the honor and distinct privilege of capturing the true celebrities, the real stars and heroes who serve this country and defend our freedoms without fail. I commend and thank these brave women for their majesty and courage.
This beautiful woman sitting on Sunset Pier in Key West immediately caught my attention. The reason was that although she was a mature woman, she was very attractive and sexy like a young girl. However, I couldn't say how old she was but I noticed how her beautiful tanned skin was starting to have that transition that leads her to age. The point was that her image of herself at this stage was perfect, I hope for her that it stays that way without any aging process because she was perfect. From the aesthetic point of view of the photo I would have preferred her back to be a little straighter but that's fine.

Lincoln is the luxury brand of Ford Motor Company. Founded in 1917 by Henry M. Leland and acquired by Ford in 1922, Lincoln has manufactured vehicles since the 1920s. Leland named the brand after his longtime hero Abraham Lincoln.
The company encountered severe financial troubles during the transition, coupled with body styling that wasn't comparable to other luxury makers, and after having produced only 150 cars in 1922, was forced into bankruptcy and sold for USD 8,000,000 to the Ford Motor Company on February 4, 1922, which went to pay off some of the creditors. The purchase of Lincoln was a personal triumph for Henry Ford, who had been forced out of his second (after Detroit Automobile Company) company by a group of investors led by Leland. Ford's company, renamed Cadillac in 1902 and purchased by rival General Motors in 1909, was Lincoln's chief competitor. Lincoln quickly became one of America's top selling luxury brands alongside Cadillac and Packard. Ford made no immediate change, either in the chassis or the V-8 L-head engine which was rated 36.4 SAE and produced 90 bhp (67 kW; 91 PS) at 2,800 rpm. An unusual feature of this power unit was the 60 degree separation of the cylinder blocks that helped to cut down on synchronous vibration found with similar engines with 90 degree separation produced at the time. After the Ford takeover, bodywork changes and reduced prices increased sales to 5,512 vehicles from March to December 1922.
In 1923, several body styles were introduced, that included two- and three-window, four door sedans and a phaeton that accommodated four passengers. They also offered a two passenger roadster and a seven passenger touring sedan and limousine, which was sold for $5,200. A sedan, limo, cabriolet and town car were also offered by coachbuilders Fleetwood, and a second cabriolet was offered by coachbuilder Brunn. Prices for the vehicles built by these coachbuilders went for as much as $7,200, and despite the limited market appeal, Lincoln sales rose about 45 percent to produce 7,875 cars and the company was operating at a profit by the end of 1923.
1924 saw the introduction of large touring sedans used by police departments around the country. They were known as Police Flyers, which were equipped with four wheel brakes, two years before they were introduced on private sale vehicles. These specially equipped vehicles, with bullet proof windshields measuring 7/8 of an inch thick and spot lights mounted on the ends of the windshield, also came with an automatic windshield wiper for the driver and a hand operated wiper for the front passenger. Police whistles were coupled to the exhaust system and gun racks were also fitted to these vehicles.
Optional equipment wasn't necessarily an issue with Lincolns sold during the 1920s, however, customers who wanted special items were accommodated. A nickel plated radiator shell could be installed for $25, varnished natural wood wheels were $15, or Rudge-Whitworth center-lock wire wheels for another $100. Disteel steel disc wheels were also available for $60. Lincoln chose not to make yearly model changes, used as a marketing tool of the time, designed to lure new customers. Lincoln customers of the time were known to purchase more than one Lincoln with different bodywork, so changing the vehicle yearly was not done to accommodate their customer base. In 1927, Lincoln adopted the greyhound as their emblem, which was later replaced with diamond that is currently in use.
