Fall is coming! Show us the colours!

To start us off, some tamaracks... a coniferous tree that changes colours and drops it's needles in the fall.

Those shots are a great inspiration, Don!
Our variant of larch, doesn't show as good colours as yours, but now you'll have me look closer at them this fall.

Colors are just starting to change here, but I'm inspired to look for opportunities in the coming weeks.

In the mean time, here is one of my favorites from a while back.

This was shot on a 35mm Canon T-70 around 1997.

The photo is of the road coming up to my Aunt and Uncle's house in Saxtons River, Vermont.

I was disappointed in the grain, but I don't know if that is to be expected with a film scan or not. These were done by a drug store, but couldn't tell you who anymore.

Either way, I really like the picture, but I suppose the nostalgia might have something to do with it.

One should never underestimate the importance of nostalgia. I like it, it reminds me of certain places I played in as a child.
And, tntwit, the grain is nothing that wrecks this shot.

Just for kicks, I'm attaching a photo from years past. Biked to the top of Castle Craig in CT, US and took out my first digital camera - the Canon G3 to take a shot. Unfortunately I knew nothing about RAW back then...
Nice shot.
Canon G3 is a great old brick! Very nice jpgs so little need of raw. I still have a bunch of old G3/5/6 bodies and occasionally use them still.

Thanks and good to know about the jpgs!

Below are 2 from this morning in New Hampshire after the fog mostly lifted.

To me much of autumn starts with the harvesting of apples, and it ends with all the brightly coloured leafs falling off the trees.

Last autumn I was out with a few friends shooting. Here's a few megapixels worth of 35kA (kiloApples).
I had walked around for a few minutes trying to find a composition that would work for the UWA, but it just wasn't possible to find one. Had to back away quite a bit to get the entire artwork in frame with another lens. Settled for this one where I could make it look like the arrow on the sign points to Eva. Couldn't get rid of the car in the background.

The apple art is called "Paradispar 2013" - Paradise couple 2013.
