Hi all :)

This is a series depicting the demise of Autumn where I live.
The whole world is turning toward African earth tones, while most of you are having a wonderful Spring! I'm jealous - lol

I'm quite enjoying the bkgds I'm getting with the 75-300mm lens coupled with a tube, need to investigate this combo a bit more in future.
How say ye all?

The 50mm f/1.8 is in here too, those bkgds are also enhanced by a 12mm tube.

Monopod used. AF-C or AF-S. Spot metering to preserve highlights.

#5 Suspension:

#6 Pom Pom Parade:

Ok, ok, I coulda told a white lie, there is one flower shot here.
But it doesn't have colour, so it's not really a flower then, is it? ;)

    Lovely series Kevin- you captured the Autumnal feeling beautifully. Just think of all those lovely leaf colours you will be getting :)

    I always enjoy your posts Kevin, I really like using Kenko tubes too.
    Lately I haven't had time to shoot anything.

    I love how you see things through the lens thumb.gif ... Skippy :D
