My daughter and I planned a hike in a new (to us) location called the "Eagle's Nest". We hiked a long way and saw a lot of beautiful things along the way, but this shot stood out to me for the great mix of colors - some existing greens, a few bright reds and rust colored oaks, the pop of yellows, and then the rich deep blue of the shadowed lake along with the more pastel blues of the sky. Autumn in Ontario, Canada, is a great place to be!
I've used the incredibly good (and incredibly good value!) Viltrox AF 16mm F1.8 for this shot. You can get my thoughts on this lens by visiting the following links:

The weather for September and early October was incredible here in Eastern Canada, but in the second week of October a storm front moved in and things turned very cool. I could see in the predawn air that the colliding fronts were going to produce a brief window of beautiful color, so I hurried out to catch some photos. This shot was taken about 15 minutes before sunrise, and the color here is pretty much out of camera. The light was a warm purple that really worked with the autumn colors.
I've used the brand new Tamron 17-50mm F4 VXD mounted on a Sony a7RV for this shot. You can get my thoughts on this lens by visiting the following links:

Autumn slowly builds to a crescendo each year as one by one the change comes upon the various trees and shrubs in the Northern climes. The last several weeks have broken misty, foggy, and moody, but the sun slowly burns it all away to golden afternoons. I loved the palette of this image, with the mist muting, concealing, and revealing in just the right plays, with the color palette both subtle and rich.

We tragically lost our pet Bengal a few months ago, and so now we have a new Bengal kitten in our life. Her name is Nala, and she is quickly winning our hearts. But kittens, of course, are busy little animals. Always playing, always exploring, and always curious. I was testing the new Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM, and wanted to get some dramatically lit macro shots of this old rusty lock on a chain. I got the lighting set, and was just ready to start taking the shots when a kitten bursts on the scene, ready to play with the lock, with the light, with the camera...well, you get the picture. Instead of getting frustrated, I started snapping a few shots of Nala in the dynamic light, and I loved this shot that captures that playful intensity of a kitten at play.

It's been a long time since I've had a chance to post as I've had the busiest season of my life...by far...over the past 18 months. But this morning the light was utterly magical, and even though the progess of late autumn has bared many of the leaves and foliage, the gorgeous morning light illuminated the bright red/orange pine needles on the side of this little hill and the little patches of dried grasses in the foreground. I'm testing a new Fujinon medium format lens (GF 20-35mm F4 WR) and the ultra-high resolution medium format system delivered gorgeous detail and nuance to the colors. Dawn comes late this time of year, but it was worth waiting on!
