A View of Autumn From A Kayak - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Norske8 · 10-31-2005, 06:01 PM

I purchased a small kayak for photo opportunities such as this. For once my timing was perfect: no wind, great lighting, bright colors and no crowd. I hope you enjoy these. This is the real color. These are not Photoshop creations.

A little self-portrait from the banks:

Psycho Dad · 10-31-2005, 06:03 PM

Very nice. I loved that third one. What type of camera did you use?

Norske8 · 10-31-2005, 06:08 PM

I am using a Canon 20D now after my Digital Rebel went out on me. It is a great camera.

amonkie · 10-31-2005, 07:15 PM

Really great shots! I love how one of the deer is sticking its tongue out at you - and I honestly think I have never seen a windless/flat lake - it really helps to draw your eyes to the color both in the trees and in the reflection.

tropicdiver · 10-31-2005, 09:13 PM

Gotta' love that 20D, huh?

Great colors, as well as very nice photos. Like the composition with the park bench.

Hat · 10-31-2005, 11:06 PM

Nice photos!! I especially like the second and seventh ones.

Charlatan · 11-01-2005, 06:31 AM

Great shots... I am loving the colours.

Norske8 · 11-01-2005, 08:07 AM

Yes, the 20D is a sweet camera. It gives me tremendous opportunity to grow as a photographer.

fresnelly · 11-01-2005, 08:47 AM

Stunning. It makes me wish I was up North right now. The second to last is my favourite. Something about the bright blue sky with the shocking orange leaves. Beautiful!

cellophanedeity · 11-01-2005, 10:20 AM

I'm stunned! These are wonderful shots. Where are you here?

Supple Cow · 11-01-2005, 10:47 AM

These are breathtaking. I can only imagine how glorious it was to actually be there!

Shpoop · 11-01-2005, 01:02 PM

absolutely love number 2. I'm in bermuda right now, which is awesome, but seeing as this is my first time living in a place that has fall, I hope I don't miss peak color

maleficent · 11-01-2005, 01:30 PM

Love the road picture... and the bench is just beautiful there's a story there...

and the deer family... awwwwwww

and you are too adorable in the last picture

Norske8 · 11-01-2005, 03:15 PM

I took all of these photos at a small lake in central Illinois. The lake is so small it is not even on most maps. I think our color is early.

Brewmaniac · 11-01-2005, 06:46 PM

Great shots, the colors are almost electric! Thanks for sharing!

jujueye · 11-02-2005, 06:17 PM

Wow, almost looks like slide film. Nice shots, and you picked a perfect day as well. Good job! Thanks for sharing!

vermin · 11-03-2005, 07:14 PM

Beautiful pictures. Makes me miss autumn in Wisconsin.

WillyPete · 11-04-2005, 06:59 AM

Really nice shots man.

Do the shots that you've 'framed' seem a lot more vivid to you?

Yes they do. I am just lazy and did not frame all of them. I love taking photos. I just don't like the "post processing" work.

Norske8 · 11-04-2005, 11:04 AM

Here is a framed version of one of the first shots:

Stick with the plain black and white frames.
