If New England is famous for something, that would probably be the colors its forests have during fall, the so called Fall Foliage. And quite rightfully so as the scenery on this part of th US has vasts forests of maple trees, oaks, birches and other trees that during this time of the year, they turn their leaves to the most fascinating colors. Every proper leaf peeper photographer grabs his camera and goes out to snap some color, so that's what I did too. This photo is from Cunningham pond which is located just a few miles west of Milford, NH. And while it definitely isn't the most famous among NH's lakes, i think its small size and calm waters offered the best natural mirror for some colorful reflections.

Εαν υπαρχει κατι για το οποιο ειναι διασημη η περιοχη της Νεας Αγγλιας, αυτο ειναι τα χρωματα που αποκτουν τα δαση της κατα τη διαρκεια του φθινοπωρου, το λεγομενο Fall Foliage. Και πολυ δικαιολογημενα κατα την αποψη μου, αφου το τοπιο σε αυτη την περιοχη των Ηνωμενων Πολιτειων ειναι γεματο απο αχανη δαση με σφενδαμους, οξιες, λευκες και αλλα δεντρα τα οποια αυτην την περιοδο αλλαζουν τα φυλλα τους και χρωματιζονται με τα πιο φανταχτερα χρωματα. Καθε φωτογραφος που σεβεται τον εαυτο του, αρπαζει την καμερα του και βγαινει εξω να φωτογραφισει λιγο χρωμα. Αυτο εκανα κι εγω φυσικα. Η φωτογραφια αυτη ειναι απο τη λιμνη Cunningham η οποια βρισκεται μερικα χιλιομετρα δυτικα της πολης του Μιλφορντ στην πολιτεια του Νιου Χεμσιρ. Και μπορει να μην ειναι η πιο διασημη μεταξυ των λιμνων της πολιτειας, παρολαυτα το μικρο της μεγεθος και τα ηρεμα νερα της προσεφεραν τον τελειο φυσικο καθρεφτη για μερικες πολυχρωμες αντανακλασεις.
Captivating clouds at sunset rising above Mt. Heyburn reflected in Little Redfish Lake. Always seem to have great skies when here. The high altitude helps.
I'll be busy with a project for a bit. Have a great week.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!
A sunset at Long Meadow that had very cool streaky clouds, that almost looked like they were painted in the sky.
Have a wonderful evening and great weekend, my friends :-)
Dead ahead this Sailboat manuevers into Vancouver Harbour, BC.
Obviously, avoiding the storm that was brewing
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.
Stay Healthy
Happy Clicks,

The River Wye in Spring, looking gentle and calm at Holme Lacy, Herefordshire. It's a great river for Salmon.
River Wye - Wikipedia.
The River Wye (Welsh: Afon Gwy) is the fifth-longest river in the UK, stretching some 215 kilometres (134 mi) from its source on Plynlimon in mid Wales to the Severn estuary. For much of its length the river forms part of the border between England and Wales. The Wye Valley (lower part) is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Wye is important for nature conservation and recreation.

I made my way to this pond about 45 minutes before sunrise. I haven’t used my tripod in a while and because the sky was cloudless, I aimed my camera low to the ground to capture the purple sky reflection in the water with all of the autumn color of the trees. The long exposure time of 4 seconds picked up so much lovely light here. I took the same picture at sunrise and it did not come out as well. Hope everyone has a great week!
At the same reservoir near Wernigerode, where hence I had an utter field day, literally!
I used an ND2-400 Grey Filter Vario from hama, on the kitlens at 55mm and brought the dark to several ƒ-stops creased inclusive of the available ƒ36 on the camera less that of the lens 1:3.5-5.6 determined by minimum and maximum focal range from 18-55mm. Thankfully I also got hold of, thanks to my partner Vera, Up & Down rings, which means you use them to fit any filter onto any lens, just adapt the rings. Think of it as adjustable sunglasses to fit differing sized eyeballs done manually.

So I snapped off a daytime Long Exposure at the full preset 30 seconds, adjusting the ND filter can sometimes be a task of trial and error, if you're like me and hopeless at math, the equations of ƒ-stops is lost on us! So trial and error is often the game.
Plus you can only do this with a tripod or a flat stable surface.
I hope that explains things clearly enough. The photo is of course water reflecting the sky, embankment and the tree line. I threw in a stone to get a slight rippled effect and deliberate motion blur for additional visual authentication.
Huge appreciation to all my followers, favers, commentators, etc, and so as always, thank you! :)
