Thursday’s Task

Monday's trip to Perthshire was partly to see how the Autumn foliage was progressing, it has about 10 days more before peak, and to take advantage of the promised mist and windless conditions. However I did find small pockets of very pleasing colour. Ken

Loch Dunsmmore. I met 2 photographers here, the only ones I saw all day. Small world one of them was brought up 200 yds from me and was a member of a camera club that I helped set up more than 50 years ago. The other strange part he only photographed when the sun shone brightly and I when the sun was behind the thin cloud.

The last shots of the day were taken at Aberfeldy. I drove down to take images at another location with a beautiful waterfall but a 10 mile traffic jam with no way around it stopped me, so this was it.

Dan, beautiful autumn colors you’ve shared—my favorites are the Spirit Tree and the Yosemite images but it was difficult to choose because all are well seen.

I like the River Garry composition for the tonal range and composition. All your images are well seen and composed. Nice.

Many mushrooms seem to love coming alive in the fall with cooler temperatures and often more moisture. Perhaps not what we think of as fall colours but they do have their own beauty.

Alan, great images—I especially favor the backlit, rain-dropped Japanese maple leaves and the Portland Japanese Garden images. The North Fork image’s foreground fall colors against the gray-blue background is a nice capture as well.

Over the years, some I like that I've accumulated.
This year nothing as I have been doing and recovering from cataract surgery (no big deal, but did stop me from going out as my vision was unstable).

Craig, beautiful collection you’ve shared—love them all. I especially favor Fallen, Searing Setting Sunlight, After Dark, and Conducting the Orchestra (great title also!)

Trent, great choice of a Fall Fungi theme—the mushroom collection definitely works here. I especially favor the Oyster Mushroom composition, the Jelly Fungus for its colors, and the Honey Mushroom composition as well.

From different areas...

1) Bowman Lake in Glacier (larches)

2) Conway summit in the eastern Sierra
View attachment 66330

3) The Subway in Zion
View attachment 66332

4) Yosemite Valley
Kyle, beautiful images once again—thank you! The Yosemite Valley composition works well with the strong foreground reflection and fallen leaves detail—beautiful! The Conway Summit is perfect with the layers of autumn trees receding into the background—good composition and colors captured.
