SuperMega Leaf Peeping post, cross post from Photography Group
I took some of these in a local cemetery after I hit the local park. I thought there would be a nice 'artisticness' of fall and decline. Here goes

1. My dear DS1!
Oh, dammit...

This time of year, I really wish I lived back east...

These are just stunning pics, and I applaud your idea of taking them in the cemetery. Very nice juxtaposition.

The colors are wonderful, and I especially appreciate the wide-angle in several.

Your shadow is very cleverly inserted there, too...

Thank you.

4. Not to knock Florida

But I couldn't live there. It's too flat. Driving there is so boring. Go. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. Stop.

edit: and thanks!

5. Wow, gorgeous shots.


You have a keen eye for light play and composition. Almost... Kinkade-ish.

9. Wait, who?


Heh.

ANYWAY... I loooove this particular *section, it looks like something under a microscope, or an amazing abstract painting:






*hope you don't mind; I'm not going to steal your pic, just wanted to crop it to show you what I was talking about but I've deleted it from my possession cuz I'm a freak about artistic licenses (the actual ones) like that.

16. Canon 5D
Two lenses. I need to go back and undistort the really wide angle shots, the trees and tombstones should be vertical, not tilted in towards each other so much.

17. I want a Canon ...
the pics I posted were with a little Sony that belongs to a friend. I am still using a disposable x(

maybe by Christmas I can afford to get myself the Canon. I think MissHC has a canon, too.

You need to turn some of these into postcards or local seasonal calendars.
