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.

I wish California had Fall Foliage like Eastern Canada. This picture was taken in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada. When I saw all the Fall Foliage leaves, I was energized and brought a big smile to my face.  Because of Fall Foliage, Autumn is my favorite season.  The early morning and late afternoon sunlight also appears more dramatic for photographs during Autumn.  I am so looking forward to Autumn coming up in a few weeks.

Looking forward to Fall Foliage coming soon

This picture was taken in Northern Ontario Canada near Sault Ste Marie in September 2014. I am still amazed at the color range that a Sugar Maple Tree can produce. We were lucky to arrive at this location at the peak of the Fall Foliage and had nice sunny weather.  We have some Fall Foliage in the San Francisco Bay Area but nothing like that of Eastern Canada. I have yet to visit the New England States during Fall Foliage and look forward to doing so in the near future.

Shadows on a Sugar Maple Leaf

I took this photograph at the height of fall foliage in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. I was so excited seeing all the bright fall colors and took so many photographs.  Every time I review these photographs I see something new.

I am intrigued by the shadow on this Sugar Maple Leaf.  I like the shadow on the leaf because of the interesting design, and the contrast it gives to the picture.  I am not sure where this shadow came from.  It may be from another leaf.

I also love the bright red colors on this leaf.  In California, the leaves never seem to be as bright as what I saw in Canada!  It amazes me how brilliant this red orange leaf is.

What do you get excited about?  I keep fallling in love with fall, and it’s colors!  I’m excited fall is coming, and am looking forward to my future search for more fall colors.

I love keeping it real by sharing my photographs which are untouched!

Fall is around the corner

I love “Fall”.  When I photographed this image, I was in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and happened to be there during the one week where Fall Foliage was at its peak.  Being from California, I never saw such brilliant colors during the fall.  It was also the start of a greater fascination with fall colors.

I like this center leaf with the variation of colors – bright red, yellow, and dark spots. It is interesting that each leaf is unique in design just as the uniqueness of an individual’s finger print.

I look forward to Fall every year now.  Last year, I missed the peak of fall foliage in Colorado.  But I still loved the bare Aspen tree forests.  This year, I will also be seeking to find more fall foliage.  Stay tuned to see what I will find!

As always, be assured this photograph is untouched and real!

Beautiful Late Afternoon Light in the Mountains of Vail, Colorado

kw6a2270-copyWonderful hike on the Booth Creek Trail late afternoon on Tuesday, October 25, 2016.  The afternoon shadows and reflections of the sky cast a cool blue light on the white trunks of the Aspen trees in the foreground while the sunlight illuminated the bare Aspen trees on the mountain side in the background.  This juxtaposition of light was very striking as I witnessed it and had to take some photographs of it.

Two Sides

img_1415-copyThis sugar maple bright leaf is interesting with the curved tips.  Autumn is wonderful. I love the bright red and orange colors.

It is interesting the back side of this leaf is not bright orange red.  It is a dull gray color.  As I was shooting, I had to make sure I took the good side of the leaf.

Photos of nature can teach us lessons in life.  We all have our good and bad sides as individuals.  One reason I love photography is it allows me to focus on beauty around us.  Focusing on Creation’s Beauty brings out my “better” side.  Take photographs that speak to you.  Print them to display in your home to focus on nature to bring out your “better”self.  I have a tag on Twitter – Bring Outside Inside!

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.

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. Photos Inspire! #ABC7NEWS #ABC7NOW #airshow #airshow2019 #airshowsf #blueangels #f-18hornet #fleetweek #fleetweeksf #Fleetweek2019 #fleetweeksanfrancisco #hornet #ilovefleetweek #navy #usnavy #untouchedtcphotos #etsyuntouchedtcphotos #canon #5dmkIV
