Here are some Fall color shots from Northern MI. These were shot with my old Nikon F100, and one wth an F4, all off tripod.

Those are great!

I feel inspired to take some shots, but mine will probably suck.

Did you touch up the last one with photoshop? Just curious because of the way the water looks.

Probably shot with a slow shutter speed. It will give anything in motion a blurred look. If it was shot in automatic mode the shutter speed would have been much quicker and the running water would have been much less dramatic.

You called it, I have kinda of a rule with nature stuff, Moving water=Slow shutter speed. And I shoot EVERYTHING on a tripod for nature. Here's three more not necessarily fall shots . All three were shot between 1 and 3 seconds with polarizing filter off a tripod. One shot is just waves hitting rocks. It's a cool technique.

WOW! Those are truly great.

I went out and got myself a decent camera (oly C8080), tripod, polarizer. Got a couple of books. I still haven't any great shots like that. Then again, there aren't that many picturesque opportunities for someone interested in outdoor photography around here. I will have to get out more.


Great job.

Eric, the Squirrel shot is cool!!. Tell me the truth were you feeding him? I'll post some Sandhill crane shots later, I ran into a family of Sandhills last spring. First time I had my D70 out.

Hey burk,

Thanks for the compliment. Those shots were all taken at Lake Scranton, in my home city. There is a paved pathway the entire way around the lake. 3 and half miles total I think. MANY people walk there. The squirrels are so "domesticated" from being fed, that they typically behave like hams for the walkers! I didn't feed them a thing (that day, anyway!). I swear, they totally dig having their pics taken. I can't tell you how many ran up to me, or jumped up on a rock, stump, etc., and "struck a pose" till my shutter went off. At that time, they just walked away. It's hysterical, really!
