However, it's quite small. Can you post a larger version? Quote:My choice would be 5 and it's now your fault inspiration the reason to pack a bag and go to Val de Travers Thanks, Joju. Did you get a chance to go? Opportunities would be even better there!

Very nice lighting in the 1st one and great colors in the 2nd shot. Just wish you had posted them in higher resolution.

In terms of processing, I think I'd like it more if it had a more natural tone as it looks too much "HDR like" for me. However, this is very subjective ;-) Autumn colors posts - thxbb12 - 11-05-2016 Quote:I went to Italy (Lucca, in Tuscany) last week in a business trip. Only camera I brought was on my phone and there were no Northern fall colours, but here are some nice colours from the trip: Some nice ones in there, Dave. If you hadn't mentioned it, it would be hard to guess they came from a phone ;-) Autumn colors posts - thxbb12 - 11-05-2016 Quote:thxbb12, They are nice images from a very nice place. I also like the 1st image, and wonder what is going on in that image with the "wall" in the water down the middle. Thanks, Brightcolours. The "wall" in image 4 is indeed very peculiar. What you actually see is the merging of 2 rivers: the Rhône on the left and the Arve on the right. The wall is actually underwater. I'm not sure what's its purpose but it somewhat prevents the river from mixing up too much in this area. A couple of hundred meters after this "junction" both rivers are completely mixed. The Rhône's water is very clear and much prettier color-wise. The Arve is very muddy and grey (hasn't been filtered much by the time it hits Geneva). On the photo, in the "cloudy triangular shape" right to the wall, you can see part of the Rhône water mixing up with the Arve water. This merging of these 2 rivers is quite unique and I'm not sure it's something very common at this scale, especially when both rivers have such different types of water. One thing is sure: it makes for some nice photo opportunities :-) Autumn colors posts - thxbb12 - 11-05-2016 Quote:Something different: An old Volvo which itself has an autumn colour covered in autumn leafs. Nikkor 55mm f1.2. Very nice shot BC (although the bokeh seems a bit harsh). Very original. Autumn colors posts - thxbb12 - 11-05-2016 Quote:Wow, thanks for these, Florent. My vote for 5 and 9. Thanks, Markus. Woow, very good inference job! Are you a detective or private investigator in your daily life? ;-) Here is a map of the area:
As of now, there are still some leaves but the trees are not that full anymore. I still think it's worth going if the weather is gonna be good. Even if there are few leaves left, the scenery will still be pretty. The water is usually very clear. I'll send you a PM about a potential meet up date to show you around the area :-) Autumn colors posts - thxbb12 - 11-05-2016 Quote:Hmm, ok, just saw the weather forecast for next week, that answers my question already The weather forecast is never reliable here. Conditions can change fast, so don't trust it. Anything more than 3 days in advance can be discarded ;-) Autumn colors posts - JJ_SO - 11-05-2016 Quote:Nice one Toni. However, it's quite small. Can you post a larger version? No, only to the Gorges de Twannbach, nice but nothing spectacular as the colours in your pictures. However, it was a nice walk and to my surprise I took the fat Nikon with me. Actually, I have a bag problem. Not too few, but no one fitting for the X-T2. My bags have no problem with the big DSLR stuff (my back has a different opinion, though) but it's not easy to find a good "smaller, but not, too small" version.

As far as bags go, I tried several but was never very happy until I bought one from Kata, the Kata DR-467: http://www.wexphotographic.com/?/hbrown/reviews/kata-dr-467-dps-digital-rucksack-review.html It's nice because I can put in it:
Unfortunately, I think it's not manufactured anymore. It looks like Kata was bought off by Manfrotto. |
