You can't always get away so sometimes I will just go out 5 minutes from my house. It has been an awesome fall so far. Cooling down at night so sleep is comfortable and daytime highs of 28 C. While officially still summer I consider September fall , my favorite season.

#1 - a few minutes before sunset


#2 - a few minutes after sunset


#3 - the next two were fun. Standing on the side of the road with camera mounted on Tripod , pointing at traffic a lot of drivers would just slow right down

I bet they would slow down even more if you had a Fotosnaiper!



Good shots all. Glad you're enjoying the weather. It hasn't started to cool down here yet, with morning lows around 32°C, and highs around 43°. I'm looking forward to winter.

Fall is a special time Dave, lovely reflection in the first. The end of September is a time for us to head South and a time to find a campsite before the Canadian snowbirds arrive.

Drivers slowing down? I HATE THAT! I just want pictures of their light trails, which is better if they are quicker (for me).

I have often thought of creating signs that say, "NOT RADAR, NOT POLICE, JUST A WEIRDO WITH A CAMERA".... or something along those lines

There's a couple on the Bay right now. Just look for "Zenit FS 12." Might be fun for shooting birds.
