    these two pictures were taken back in 2018 at Baker Park went just for the larch which it seems are all in the parking lot.

      Dwight, there is a small st6and of Larch trees in North Glenmore Park. They are a little east of the tennis courts. Not that much colour yet. Some of the trees are still green.

    this was just the way it was i call it cavepainting

    I liked the colours behind the Great Horned Owl giving a very strong autumn feel to the picture. The owl is hardly paying attention since he is sleeping! Shot at FL 400mm so as not to disturb the bird. F 6.3, S 1/250, ISO 640, Matrix Metering. Auto White Balance. Cropped only.

    • Henri says:

      Love this composition Karen. Maybe a bit of shadow control could bring out more detail in the owl.

    So many mushrooms this year. It seems like on every hike there is such a variety of them.

    Moody fall scene along the Assiniboine Lake trail. Taken with Panasonic DMC-TZ3, ISO 100, f/3.3, 1/500.

    Bull Moose at Vermilion Lakes in Banff. ISO 100, f/6.3, 1/80. Duplicated the photo and increased the exposure, then layered both in GIMP to bring out the facial features.

    • Ron says:

      Colours seemed a bit off so I adjusted the white balance. I think this version is closer to the true colour of the scene.

    Just for fun. I always like how my sunglasses intensify the colours so I used them as a filter on my iPhone. 5th hole at Shaganappi Valley 9. Before my cataract surgery I couldn’t do this because my sunglasses were prescription.
