. . . Autumn is here?

The Río Grande Cottonwood, although this one is on the Río Chama, near Abiquiu, NM.

They are known as "álamos," as in Los Alamos, NM. Occasionally, they are known as "algodones," as in Algodones, NM. Occasionally, we fat shame them, as in Alamogordo, NM. We, however, never "Remember the Alamo," cuz that was a shame indeed.

They are also known by their scientific nomenclature. An interesting account is to be found in "wiki."

"Populus deltoides wilizenii."

And, just about now, you're probably thinking we should call it "Populus excesivicus saturaticii."

A beautiful shot! Kudos for using a polarizer

Notice the difference in polarization from left to right? that is why cpl's don't always work when taking frames for stitching into panos

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.

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.

Thank you very much for releasing your secret.

Maybe you could post here some captures of waterfalls along that gorgeous creek?

If you showed that video of your favorite character, to a high school class, you'd never regain control of the discipline. I live for your "light speed" cartoon in a map.

Ok, I'm under control. These falls are nice. I'll upgrade that to "wow," if you post them as saturated.

Where did you get the mockingbird audio?

Oops wrong video!!!

All photos are exposure bracketed and blended

Went out for the usual special buffet of birds and mammals but the sunrise took the price today :-)

Thanks, Bill. That being said, (cute way of saying "however, . . ."), I don't use polarizers. They tend to confuse the issues. ;-)

The "blueness" of these skies, is peculiar to New Mexico, at least in Northern New Mexico. That's why artists are drawn here. The deeper blues, seen here, are an artifact of any northern sky. Of course, the subject has a lot to do with an artist's choice. Yet, as I've watched painters, just less than a mile from here, they seem to spend a lot of time first in "laying down" that certain "blue."

I use the Canon, when in this mode of photography, as opposed to the Nikon, which treats it differently. Here, I used an ultra wide angle lens, which when its edge comes within the radii of "flare," will cause that light blue on the left.

I used my special formula in Gimp to modify the camera's instructions. It gives the already saturated camera setting, that HDR look, but, not quite that.

I want to learn how to remove that light blue, but, I don't want my processed photo to look like whatever I "healed" appears like a cut and paste job. So, I just leave it alone as a camera artifact.

I'm writing this around noon. I can't fit that tree into my viewfinder (all glass prism) cuz I'll be standing in an acequia. However, there are other singular trees, which lend themselves to a northern capture. My expectation is that even with the wide angle, there won't be that effect which you noticed.

Some of the trees are really wide. And, you've given me an idea to make a panorama of one. I'll use myPhoneXr; had to buy one cuz the last one flew off my truck's hood at sixty miles an hour but it kept on ticking, I just couldn't read between its many, many lines.

Use a long focal length. It works also to bring "bokeh" nearer to your subject at near macro distances.

It's not my fault the transportation department doesn't know how to plumb. Look at the far "pylons", against the white slope. Those are plumbed.

Skewed is when your front passenger tire dips and your driver rear wheel lifts in the air. That's skewed. ;-)
