Simulated reflection is one of my fav image manipulation techniques. People used to call me "Noah" for the amount of times I did this kind of thing back in the day. Check out my album of images like this one linked on the right.
i feel like i missed the beautiful fall colours this year. rain (and snow) and the colours weren't as bold as i remember them here, and certainly not as nice as i remember them in japan. was this year different than before or is it me? this tree is a block down the road from my place.
This time of year, the deer come into my yard to feast on the apples from my trees, I have enough for everybody that shows up, after a belly full this youngster had to relax and daydream basking in the early fall sunshine!
Most of the trees along the South River were bare when I took this shot last weekend, but a few of the fall's colors were still evident in the distance. I took this shot from the footbridge over the river at Ridgeview Park in Waynesboro, Virginia, and cropped it to bring the colors in closer.
E313 rumbles past the signals at Ashford along the former Clinchfield mainline on a beautiful Fall afternoon.
Have you ever had a picture in your head that, despite your best efforts, you were never able to recreate in your camera? I sure do. Quite a few of them, in fact.
For years, I have tried to capture a single leaf falling from a tree. And for most of those years, I usually captured something I liked, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted.
Yesterday, the opportunity presented itself again. And, thanks to a lot of help from Mother Nature, I managed to capture a number of great images of leaves falling.
This is my favourite. The one I've been trying to get for probably more than a decade.
Persistence pays off.
I was expecting more fall colors than this so I tried to get more creative than usual. I've shot this falls several times before but never at this angle.
Nothing better than the 866 as a southbound leader in the fall. Here BLE 866 and three others make great time as they haul a short ore train through MD South on a beautiful fall day.
For the second time recently a fire has helped me get a shot. Just to the right of this scene I could see a huge cloud of smoke from a controlled burn. Luckily for me the smoke created some great layering and a purple cast for the Wet Mountains near Westcliffe Colorado.
I used a graduated ND filter for this shot, not HDR.
I'm headed up to Aspen tomorrow to shoot with Jim Boud. www.flickr.com/photos/boudster/
Can't wait to see what the color is doing and what kind of images we can produce.
Have a great day!!

Saturday we went for a bike ride at Sandestin. Even here in Florida we have some fall color---at least here in north Florida.
Horsetail Fall, Sunset (#2). Yosemite National Park, California. February 15, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Horsetail Fall in the final sunset light on a mid-February evening, Yosemite Valley, California.
(larger)
I was in Yosemite Valley for a couple of days during the middle of February. My main reason for going was not to photograph the seasonal and iconic sunset light on Horsetail Fall, but it turned out that I did just that - twice. Since I have photographed the phenomenon in the past and already have a photograph that I consider a success, shooting it again isn't at the top of my to-do list. However, I'll shoot an icon if I think that the conditions might be special. In the afternoon I had been up high enough to get a clear view to the west, and it had looked almost completely clear. This is pretty much a necessary condition for good light on Horsetail, since the very late and low-angle light has to come in from across the Central Valley unobstructed. And, as everyone knows by now, the fall is an intermittent and seasonal event that depends on the right combination of snow (or rain) fall and warm weather to get the creek feeding the fall running in the middle of winter. It turned out that this had also happened, and the fall was running pretty strongly.
So, with all of those pieces apparently in play I decided to head on over to the picnic area beneath El Cap and then wander east until I found a suitable viewpoint. Still a bit ambivalent about shooting Horsetail, one reason I chose this spot is that it allowed me to shoot other subjects in the late afternoon and then arrive more or less at the last moment (around 5:00 p.m.) and still find parking and a spot to shoot. The parking, especially, can be more problematic at the other popular location, located along Southside Drive.
In the end, it was an odd evening for Horsetail. As the sunset continued the fall began to glow, and it looked like it might possibly turn out to be a really special night to shoot this subject. But then a few minutes before the peak of color would have occurred... it was as if someone switched the lights off. Very quickly the color dimmed to much more muted shades and remained so as the light faded. This was my last shot before that turn of events occurred, and this color corrected version (compensating for the otherwise very blue light on the rock face not struck by the sunlight) picked up some nice light and some of the most delicate and beautiful spray I've seen on the fall.
