Drove along Cliff Drive today and snapped a few in the rain. It is particularly lovely this time of year. Just don't come to see it on the weekends unless you're prepared to walk. Above, Hole 4 of the Cliff Drive Disc Golf Course.... North Terrace Lake above. Above and below, North Terrace Lake. All shots Nikon D3, and either 24-70, 14-24, or 70 -200mm lenses. ASA 800. No multiple exposure. My mated pair of geese are back again this year. Nest building will begin soon on the island.
In the Spring my Japanese Maple heralds the seasonal change with a bright red hue.... in fall, as it prepares for Winter slumber, it does the same... flora optimism. I have a hard maple that was particularly pretty this year... almost missed it completely. All shots with the Nikon D3 and either 14-24mm or the 70-300mm at 1000 or 2000 ASA (because I was too lazy to get the tripod out of the car). Levels adjustment and sharpening in Camera Raw but no color enhancement. All shots with exposure compensation of +1.
