Thank you Jerry, he is rather photogenic.Now that is a great portrait of Erik, David. Very well done.



The loner and the sun star are my favorites of the group.
A Funny Story! I remember once in Yellowstone everybody was stopped on the road and were out of their cars taking pics of a bear on a spot higher than the road right next to the road. Well when the bear started down to the road everyone ran to get in the cars. Well the 60 something couple in car ahead of me the guy tried to get in his car but it was locked. I remember him yelling at his wife..."Why the heck would you lock the car!"Spent the morning at the lake and took a few shots. The first one of the pier was shot just to try raw develop. Amazed to find that the underside refection of the pier did not show up at all until the image was tinkered with and there it is. Full size image shows it better. Before processing the underside was all black shadow on the water.
The mockingbird was just too fast, next time the focus will be crisper!
And last, this lovely Bluebird stopped on a branch overhead and posed for a while.
Interrupting this pastoral morning was the sudden eruption of sound from maybe two dozen coyotes on the other side of the lake. Never saw them, they were in the forest across the lake 3 or 4 hundred yards away, but the volume of all the howling raised the hair on the back of my neck. The sound really carried and suddenly I was mentally figuring how fast I could sprint back to the car. Then the sounds stopped and I had to laugh. Me--sprint? What a concept, I'm 72 and the first few seconds of a true sprint would likely unhinge lots of moving parts that have an expired warranty!
Larches were confusing to me for a while. Evergreen look but all the needles drop. Poor tree. No. It looks like a typical evergreen but looses it's needles. Some funky genetics going in that species.I went for another hike to capture some more fall magic. After the broad-leaved trees, now the larches really "catch fire", starting with the smallest ones.
I'm not entirely convinced by this one, but the back lighting makes these larches shine even more. So I decided to share it anyway...
Thanks for looking and please don't hesitate to comment...

Thank you... Not sure if it's stacking as much as blending the exposures? For the images that have moving water, it does seem to have that interesting effect of showing the overall motion as well as the slower motion all in the same frame.Stacking then superimposes the last known location of each tiny wave creating the soft, tendril effect often sought through the use of a neutral density filter? I enjoy the effect on a relatively placid stream. It is very different from real-time viewing and contemplating. This method brings motion to the viewer which is imperceptible, sans a gedunken experiment, when simply sitting there.Glad you enjoyed them...
These were 9 shot bracketed exposures and while there were slower shutter speeds in the brackets, all of the "speeds" are blended when the software combines them into one image. I was using a CPL filter on the RX100V, I dont't have an ND filter yet for magfilter holder kit that I am using.

Thank you very much for releasing your secret.
Maybe you could post here some captures of waterfalls along that gorgeous creek?

I like how that one turned out as well... I've tried to remember to look for the smaller landscapes while I am out trying to capture a big scene.All nice once again. I like the lone rock
Thank you, Grant! What bothers me a little in this image is that the sky is not so nice. Otherwise I also like it.Larches were confusing to me for a while. Evergreen look but all the needles drop.

My lucky shot. I'm actually a little prowd of it because my hands are still steady enough for a 0.8 sec handheld shot, despite all the coffee and being almost 69... well, at least when I try five timesReto
Another stunning series highlighting the beauty of the season... My favorite is the flowing water and river rock!
Thank you again, Hapster!Thank you for sharing!
