This is another example of the beautiful Fall colors I encountered in Germany. I just got up early, took my camera and a 50mm prime lens and walked through the little village and the surrounding forest and came back with 400+ images that I am slowly working my way through.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Last night I encountered fog on my way home. I decided to get out early and photograph trees around sunrise and in the early morning fog.

Enjoy and happy photographing!

I am in the process of evaluating and processing the 3000+ images that I shot during may two week trip to Germany. The autumn colors fascinated me and I went out early in the morning just with a 50mm prime lens and photographed as much as I could.

In this images I used a group of leaves as my subject and the rest of the leaves as background. I used an aperture setting of f2.8 to separate my subject leaves from the rest.

I hope you will enjoy the image as much as I do. Happy Monday and keep on photographing!

Ansel Adams and other photographers photographed Aspens in black ad white and I tried to do the same. I discovered young Aspen trees and the Tilden Park right outside Berkeley, CA and photographed them. I used Nik Silver Efix pro to convert the image into black and white.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Fall will be in full swing over the next few weeks

While the deep fall colors are not here they are just around the corner, my favorite time of the year. One of the things I like about this photo is the background and the contrast between it and the leaves. Pumpkin patches, colored leaves, crisp mornings, OH MY!

Keep clicking

I once was told that Manzanita wood is very hard. I just love the structure of the branches. In this image I tried to capture the way growth occurs and I tried to capture the structure of the bark.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!
