Go take a picture this week!

[shwaip]

At least where I am, the colors of fall are coming out. I'm going to try to make sure I do that sometime this week. You should too.

[UPSLynx]

I'm planning on a shoot soon. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year because of the colors, the smell, and the temperatures. Love it.

I just need some freetime to go on a shoot soon. The time is ripe for only a few days.

[Snarkasm]

Free time indeed. I'll walk around a little bit this week. Just for you.

[GHoosdum]

I took my wife to the pumpkin farm on Wednesday:

It almost looks like a model! The tractor looks very model like to me lol.

Ok, so as you say we are now out of summer and I decided to go into my garden and take some snaps.. Here is a piccie I took of the last 2 flowers in my garden...

I drive through some wonderful, colorful hills in Kentucky on my drive to school. I'll give myself some extra time on Tuesday afternoon to stop at a rest-stop or something along the way, and get some shots of the colors.

[shwaip]

Went for a walk with Laura this afternoon...

Too much rain here right now for my taste to take pictures outside, but how is this for a fall picture :D

[UPSLynx]

Love the sky in that shot, FelixDeSouze!

I shot some pictures today, I'll post them when I get the chance. Many trees have lost a good portion of their leaves already, I'm afraid I may have waited to long.

I really need to go on a hike/shoot. I love to explore nature and shoot photos, and this is the best time of year to do it.
*looks at schedule*
well... maybe next year :/

Ghoosdum, what is a SoCal fall like? Are trees changing color at all, or is it an all green all the time kind of place?

[GHoosdum]

So far, the fall has been a couple days of minor chill, followed by summer-like heat the rest of the time. Some of the trees are beginning to change; I found a red leaf that dropped off one of the trees in our complex. The cactus hill hasn't changed a bit. Recently the Santa Anas have started to kick up, today the wind was blowing pretty good.

Overall, doesn't feel much like fall yet!

[Marushka]

Hey guys! Here are some pics from the last couple weeks!

Yeah mate they are :) -- a little manipulation with the RAW files :)

Going to be taking a traffic shot with long exposure tonight, will stick it up here when I get ther perfect one :)

* ardichoke sighs

Seattle... I really wanted to move out there after college. No luck finding a job there though. Nice pictures Marushka

[FelixDeSouze]

Ok, so I finished work at 6pm last night and it was dark.. So I decided to take some pictures of the traffic from the 5th floor of the Cunard building (my work).

What do you think?

(LARGE IMAGES REMOVED -- Please open the attachments :) )

[FelixDeSouze]

ORIGINAL: Sorry about the size, is the size controllable? I'm still half asleep!

EDIT: Nevermind, I just removed the large images.. Just check the attachments, as above ;)

[FelixDeSouze]

Ok, Halloween was on Saturday.. We (myself and my girlfriend) made our pumpkins. Can you tell which one is mine?

[lershee]

Okay, here's my photo that I took for my photography class:http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs207.snc1/7426_1238124842844_1520957295_627622_4743499_n.jpg

And here's a pretty fall shot:

[lershee]

Hmm... maybe I should do it this way?

[lershee]

Hooray! I get it now!

And now, here's a photo of my kitties hanging out in the towel closet:

[FelixDeSouze]

Nice shots, I've been reading up on HDR images and I'm off to Dublin today so I think I'll be testing it out.

[chrisWhite]

Felix, when it comes to HDRI photography 99% of the time subtle is key. Glowing edges and pastels just don't look good.

[Soundy]

Some fall colors around here:

[Marushka]

soundy I love the leaves on the concrete. beautiful.

[Soundy]

Thanks! Although that's actually a wooden railing :) I did like the contrasting colors... and it doesn't show up as well, but the bright sky to the west was really showing in the water droplets. Little more post-processing might have brought that out.

[FelixDeSouze]

Winter would be awesome to shoot.. However, over her in the crappy UK there is hardly ever any snow :(

I WANNA TAKE SNOW PICS!!!!!

Snow is awesome to shoot, but also difficult. You need to set your exposures manually, since sensors in most cameras can't handle the nearly uniform look of snow, and think that things are getting way blown out.

If you can find your perfect settings, though, snow shots can turn out incredibly awesome.

Doubt there will be any snow here this year.. But if there is I'll be on it like a dirty rash!

[FelixDeSouze]

Ok, so my girlfriend and I went over to Liverpool to get a look at the new wheel which is based in the new Liverpool ONE shopping centre.. The best shot is this which was taken by my lovely girlfriend.. I'm proud! :)

What do you guys think?

Like the leaves there, Soundy; I miss seeing the rest of the lighted tree, but compliments to your g/f, Felix. :)

[FelixDeSouze]

Tks Lin, do you mean you think it would be better if the entire tree was in it?

I wouldn't say it'd be "better", just that personally, I would've liked to have seen it. :)
