Again also, thanks for the tip.

Nice. Is that an osprey? (It reminds me of the time when I was camping two summers ago, and I saw a very large eagle robbing an osprey's nest. It snatched a fat chick three days in a row, at the same time of day.)
Yakamoto: Thanks. I like that picture from Kyoto.
Been playing with cheap banner paper for backdrops. I'm currently redesigning my studio and getting a stockpile of 20 foot strips in various colors for some neat effects. Here's a straight-ahead portrait, though I'll post more later on that contain the full width and striping used in the background...

Nice one, Clix!
We don't have such nice fall colors around here, so I'm always drawn to the turning leaves. The palm tree leaves are turning brown here, if that counts .

Thanks, Gauchogolfer! There are still a lot of trees that are green; we haven't yet had a full-force display of loads of trees in brilliant tones of yellows, golds, oranges and reds, but hopefully that will be soon. This photo is of a tree in our neighborhood that is always the first to change color. Can others be far behind?
Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year because of the beautfiful colors, but I don't look forward to the cold winter that comes on its heels...

this makes me think of the beautiful smell of decomposing leaves. i enjoy that smell.
Reminds me of something from the weekend - I was walking through a forested area and came upon a mother & daughter who were making a big fuss about some smell. They were very loud. Eventually they concluded that somebody was "frying smelly chicken" in one of the nearby apartment buildings, causing the "foul" odour. They fled in disgust. I walked over to where they had been standing, and realized it was only the smell of rotting leaves. I pondered this for a while...
Three Bowls and a Squash
Daegu, South Korea
October 18, 2006
Canon a640
f/4@1/125
iso 80
7.3 mm (~35 mm equiv.)
This is a common sight outside the big apartment complexes: bowls of seasonal food on the sidewalk. Here we have some mandarin oranges, just recently making there way back into the marketplace after having the summer off. Also, there is some dried jube-jube fruit, I think, supposed to be a healthy thing. And, some of what I guess is dotori muk, acorn jelly, produced by boiling up batches of the forest nuts. Oh, and we also see, perched precariously, the peculiarly pale pumpkin of these parts, (pricey).

This one is superb...not only technically with a very well executed focus limit and bokeh, but also artistically where the leaf appears to be turning. The sharp and saturated red contrasted with blue gives the subject a 3-dimensional look...it seems to be popping out of the picture.Clix Pix said:
Nikkor 70-180mm Micro??? What lens is that?
Bishop's University, QC.
Camera: Finepix s5100
Lens: Standard lens
Misc: set to "macro"

I took this before I got my 35mm SLR, so I shot in RAW, and did some work on it in Lightroom.

Abstract said:What does the UV black filter do, and is the Tiffen Hot Mirror Filter the thing that brings out the pink-ish colours? Beautiful photo, btw. IR photos are sometimes nice, but what does a "typical" UV photo look like?
the UV black filter is cutting Visible light, and passing UV. the hot mirror is a temporary job, until I can get a better IR cut filter. the Hot Mirror cuts Infrared light conamination, since in order to shoot UV effectively I removed the filter that also cuts IR from the camera. the HM also cuts a bit of UV sadly
The pinkish colors come from processing. It's impossible to say waht a typical UV photo looks like, you can do all sorts of stuff with the files since UV doesn't have a perceived color. This same shot looks radically different processed with other apps.
