Richard,

The picture of the stone face is great. I wish I had something as nice to show off. The lighting is excellent.

Rick,

I find it amazing that those colors are not punched up. The pic is great. That is the great think about Velvia. What time of day was the pic taken?

I think there are a lot of really cool shots up here. I am glad we did this. I am making my last try this weekend. I am getting up and going with my friend Larry (a forum member) to do some preserves in upper Westchester NY. My goal is to get moving by 5 AM on Sunday. I have a wedding fair later in the afternoon, so I hope that I can keep up the energy level.

Last bit of color the Japanese Gardens could muster for this year.

Hey Roman!

I like Fall Close-up a lot. I just was shooting yesterday up in Westchester. Lots of yellows...very few reds. However, I got a couple of decent shots. I will post them up later.

This has been an incredibly disappointing fall for me. The weather has just NOT wanted to cooperate. Anyway, this weekend was the first weekend where we have had some success with everything. The predominant color was yellow - with very little red..however, we got a few OK shots. I miss the reds.

Anyway, I had a blast going to some of the local preserves that exist near my home. You can go to the Nature Conservancy website (they have been mentioned in a bunch of our interviews for doing excellent environmental work) and they will list places that you can visit.

I went with my wife, my friend Larry and his wife. Larry was testing out his new Minolta 7d. What a nice little camera.

Here are a couple of more images that I took this weekend. In some respects, I like these last two the most. Surprisingly, I keep going back to those red leaves I took earlier in New Hampshire. I think they were the favorite that I took - mostly because the conditions were so poor, and the shot came out a bit better than I expected anyway.

James,

I like the first shots in both of your last posts. The leaves are showing a great orange color.

Roman,

The Japanese Maple is very nice.

Here is my first stab: [image]http://www.pbase.com/donald_09/image/51805324[/image]

That didn't work although I thought I followed Jim's instructions. Maybe just attach it.........

Hey Don,

I did something a bit tricky. I think the problem was your link to Pbase. I am not sure why it gave you difficulty. What I did was copy the URL that was created when you click on the download link in your post...and added image tags to it.

It is a great picture of one of my favorite places. I do not recognize the vantage point. Were you heading over to Dubuois, WY or was this taken from somewhere else?
