Absolutely gorgeous. This is what life is about.

Some of the best work I've seen here the last month or so.

paddyjoe

Rdr4evr, you are so right......why can't everyday be like that crisp, colorful Autumn day?

Thanks so much for the nice comments guys, much appreciated. Amonkie, from the banks of the Genesee river, in Rochester, NY.

Eye candy is a great description bernie. Till the next wind storm.

Thanks so much guys.

This year the colors seemed so vivid and saturated. Alas now, after a few windy days, I've got my rake in hand and not my camera. can't stop the progression.

LewisCouch

Beautiful photographs of an awesome season. Autumn is great for photographers, and you obviously are having fun. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic. Such saturation. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is film.....? Hope so. Each shot has such...personality. Photo 8 is nearly an optical illusion; my eyes focus back and forth between the gray cement and the colors behind.

Alas, colors are nearly gone in Wa state. Some rain and a little wind has reduced most leaves to dirty brown. *sigh* You are lucky in the NE.

Thanks for the post.

Sweet, sweet, sweet! Man those are nice! I recognize the tree in the first pic... didn't you post the pic of the bugs infesting that tree earlier this year?

Anyway, I had forgot how nice your work was.. good stuff PJ, most impressed.

Thanks!!

I love that bridge picture...and the barbecue one too. Reminds me of a chilly autumn day

splck

Very nice joe. I wish we had colours like that around here.
If you like the colour of pine needles, come on out.

Those are some amazing shots. I love the colors of fall and you captured some of them very well!

paddyjoe

You are correct sir, anytime I get to be out in nature with my camera, I'm having fun! (hot av too,btw)


juju, you're very welcome, but sorry, this thread was shot digitally with my D-100. I still do shoot tons of film, but mainly for weddings and for black and white.


Umm....no. I would be interseted in seeing that post though. Sounds like a problem flyman would have with skwerlz...


Seems like BBQ season just started a couple weeks ago. Damn!


Really the only problem with fall.....too short. Whenever I had the time, the weather sucked, and when I was busy...you get the idea. Even the day I shot these images it started spitting a little rain.

nosuchuserexist

beautiful as always PJ!
