I just got a couple of rolls of film processed and scanned by The Darkroom that I'd shot last weekend. I have to say I'm really impressed by the quality of their work. These "standard" scans are flawless - and on a standard consumer grade film, no less! While mailing rolls of film from Tennessee to California isn't exactly quick or convenient, the results speak for themselves.

Turned the lights off in the sugarhouse late this evening and messed around with a few fun shots. Good evening for us, we boiled down about 110 gallons of sap to make about 4 gallons of wonderful "a-medium" grade maple syrup

On the day we had to visit the Kinkakuji temple (the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, but officially, the Rokuon-ji temple, the Deer Garden Temple) in Kyoto, Japan, it was raining a slow, steady, soaking rain. The grounds were magnificent in their autumn colours, and the red maples were especially beautiful. Great day for photos. Lousy day for keeping dry. - JW

Obligatory Fall shot :)

I used the tele-lens for the zoom shot...under-exposed the shot to cancel the background for the dramatic effect on the Maple Leaf.
