Where is a good place to see Fall?

Where is a good place to experience fall? Living in San Francisco is not a good place to feel the fall season. We do not experience drastic temperature changes. We usually get Indian Summer and can get hot weather now.

I am not a expert on all locations for Fall. These leaves are interesting due to the multiple points in the leaves. Also these fall leaves have complimentary colors. They are not the typical fall colors.

When I visited Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont, I noticed many of the leaves were more orange in color.

In Northern Ontario and Michigan, the leaves can be orange. But there are some deep bright red leaves. The redness is attributed to how much sugar there is in the maple tree.

Where is a good location to experience fall? The answer is – it depends. It seems there can be slight variations in the fall colors.

What fall colors do you love? My preference is the bright red leaves. I really like the deep red I see in Northern Ontario.

Let me know what are your favorite fall colors.

How to take Better Photos in the Fall?

img_1880-copy-1This photograph was taken 2 years ago in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.  It is a border town between Ontario, Canada and Michigan.  I never saw such a beautiful display of autumn than during that one week we visited.  Being from California, we do not see the full array of autumn colors.

I love autumn because of the vibrant colors during the changing of the leaves.  No other time during the year can we see such bright and vibrant colors.  The scenery comes alive with autumn.

As a photographer, this is the best time to shoot outdoors and capture the bright colors.

This is a sugar maple leaf photographed during the peak fall season.  The leaf was backlit with the sunlight coming from behind which made the colors more vivid.  I positioned myself so the sun came behind the leaf to draw out the colors.  Positioning is important to get the true colors to show in your photo.

I took the photograph with my Canon EOS 70D camera using EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II lens.  This is a very sharp lens which produces excellent bokeh effect in the background.

What is bokeh?  Bokeh is the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photograph rendered by a particular lens.

Hope you can appreciate Autumn like I do.  Try to take photographs with this type of backlit positioning to improve your Fall photos to show off the bright colors of the season.

Not sure if anyone ever wondered why I am using “untouchedtcphotos” and what I am about?

I started this blog of my photography back in 2012.  It started with photographs taken from my first trip to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada.  This was my first encounter with a real Fall Foliage.  I got so excited with the array of colors and the various trees and plants.  I could have spent much more time photographing the landscape if I had the time.  We were visiting my mother-in-law’s family, and they were so happy and hospitable to take me to sights they never showed my wife (she is not as much as a nature buff as I am).  After this visit, I could not wait to plan another visit.

So with all these photographs, somehow we decided to display on a blog not knowing what to do with a blog.

I am an old school photographer who has learned how to do “photoshop” on my images.  I do love to see other people’s photographs with the “different” colors and appreciate their art in their pictures.

See this article about Kerry Washington’s objection to her “photoshopped” image —

Good Morning America/Yahoo Article – Kerry Washington Speaks Out about her Photoshopped Ad

I know at times when I photograph, I want the ideal lighting to give me the photograph I want.  I need to either wait for that moment which may never come or settle for the natural lighting that is available at that time.  It would be so easy to settle and say – well I can just photoshop to lighten the image.

Thus this is how “untouchedtcphotos” came into being.  I want to show real images of things I love.  I want to be a photographer who is seeking to take quality images.  I do not want to be a photographer who takes photographs with the idea I can photoshop the picture to make it better or to fix it.  That is just my opinion.

IMG_9436 Copy1Walking down the Hub Trail in Sault Ste Marie, Canada, on a warm September day in 2014.  The fall colors were absolutely spectacular and gave me great pleasure in walking the trail and photographing that day.  I think my face was glowing with joy and I had an extra bounce in my walk.  Thank you very much to my cousins Susie and Linda for taking me to this wonderful place!

The colors are incredible! The brilliant back-lit leaf and background colors appeared in my camera viewfinder just as they appear on the screen. The images have not been enhanced in Photoshop in any way.

See the Red, Orange, Yellow and Green Canadian Leaves from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. We went to visit this border town between Ontario, Canada and Michigan. My wife’s mother was born on the Canadian side, and we traveled there to visit the relatives. Knowing when we would see the fall foliage is anyone’s guess. We happened to be there during the only week when these brilliant colors emerged and displayed the wonderful array of colors. My wife’s cousins encouraged me to display my photographs in a show when I returned home. These photographs represent a turning point for me to see how I could share my love of God’s creation and nature.

Come to Snappy’s Cafe  at 978 A Street – Hayward, CA 94541 – 510-886-8500 – Photos are going up on 7/29/2015 in the afternoon.

Photo Show Reception will be on August 1, 2015 – Saturday – 2 pm to 5 pm.  Free Food!  Please come!  We appreciate Snappy’s Cafe and hope you will support their coffee/beverage business.

Close Fly-by Maneuvers by the Blue Angel's at Fleet Week The precision and expert maneuvers by the Blue Angels during their air shows amazed me as I was shooting the Blue Angels at the San Francisco Fleet Week. How do these fighter planes move so close to each other and not collide or touch? I appreciate the great skill and expertise of the Blue Angels every time I watch their shows. Their dedication to be the best is an inspiration to me. How often do we feel discouraged about improving ourselves in a particular skill? For me – photography has evolved a lot from the beginnings of my career. Technology has greatly improved how photographs look. There are a variety of ways we can share our photos thru Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. The internet has provided a different dimension in the way we see our world. Today’s world provides more ways we can express creativity. I am striving to find my own road to perfect my photography expertise. This photograph reminds me not to give up on how to create my art. Expertise takes time to develop. Keep striving to be your best at what you do.
