While waiting for this year's autumn colors
to get into full swing,
I'll post a few pictures from last September. 🍁🌞

Odotellessani, että tämän vuoden ruska pääsisi vauhtiin, postaan muutaman kuvan edelliseltä syyskuulta.

A serene, sunny autumn riverscape with its reflections. Tyyni aurinkoinen syysjokimaisema heijastuksineen. In the foreground, a maple tree with its leaves in autumn colors. Dark green trees in the background. Etualalla vaahtera, jonka lehdet ruskaväreissä, taustalla tummanvihreitä puita. Maple trees in fall colors. Ruskavärisiä vaahteroita. Maples, one of which is in shades of yellow, the others more multicolored. Vaahteroita, joista yksi keltaisen sävyissä, muut monivärisempiä.

Yesterday, as I stumbled around in the heavy fog at our local wildlife refuge, this fog bow appeared. It hung around for about 30 minutes. I photographed it with regular and #fullspectrum cameras. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #fog #infrared #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #Nikon

My son attends uni in another city far from home. And if things goes well he will go abroad next year. A mother’s heart and all that… ♥️ He knows how I love fog, so he sent me a picture and I edited it.

The clouds parted, giving me a window to frame the full moon. This was taken with my Canon camera and Tamron 150-600 lens.

Good morning! Last week in Norway, I saw the Northern Lights. Maybe not as colorful as I'd wanted, but still. #photography #landscapephotography #norway #winter #snow #northernlight #aurora

Kolin kansallismaisemat lienee tuttuja jokaiselle suomalaiselle. Vuodenaikojen, säiden- ja ilmakehän ilmiöt kuitenkin muokkaavat näkymää jatkuvasti. Helmikuun korkeapaine toi laaksoihin pakkassumun ja Kolin huipulle kirkkaan taivaan. 📷11.2.-13.2.2026 #sääkuvaus

In a spectacle of nature's infinite power, glorious Mount Fitz Roy, battered by furious winds, emerges from the clouds. Patagonia's mountains can be hidden for days, but when they clear, the beauty is endless!

Photo: Two birds are photographed in flight, both shown from the back showing full wingspan. Wings are backlit from the sun, shining brilliantly against a black background. Reeds and grasses appear in the foreground, sparkling in the sun. A distant tree is out of focus, to the right side in the background.

This is one of my favourite shots from a recent chilly sunrise shoot in Bushy Park. This alpha stag is still keeping a very close eye on his group of hinds though many of his cohort have abandoned theirs now they have been covered.

Rocks I've known and loved 4

This is part of a series exploring interesting (to me), rock formations on coastlines

Let me know what you think in the comments

The definition of #cold is relative here in Finland.
While -11°C with wind might be freezing for some,
others see it as a nice, easy-going winter weather.

#BlueSkyArtShow #winter #valokuvataivas #talvi #Finland

Suomeksi ALT:ssa
Trees covered in frost and snow. Kuuran/lumen peittämiä puita. #cold (kylmä) on suhteellinen asia täällä Suomessa. :) Esim. -11 asteen pakkanen voi yhdelle olla hyvin kylmä etenkin tuulen kera, toinen taas pitää leppoisana talvikelinä.

Close Up

#Photography #AlphabetChallenge #WeekCforCloseUp #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A close-up, high-contrast black and white photograph of an adult and an infant. The adult's face is positioned on the left side of the frame, partially obscured, with a focused gaze. The infant is in the foreground on the right, resting it's chin on it's hand, looking directly toward the camera with large, bright eyes. The lighting is dramatic, casting deep shadows and highlighting the textures of the skin and the subtle patterns on the adult's clothing. The composition is tight and intimate, emphasizing the features of both subjects against a dark, underexposed background.

If I hadn’t said it would you have known this was rolling shutter in the Canon R5 or would you have thought this was wing blur caused by a slow shutter speed?

Merry Christmas from this young White-tailed Deer (and me)! Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have a day filled with warmth, love, and happiness.

Brisbane River.

This shot taken in the pre-dawn light. A pedestrian bridge now connects the city to Kangaroo Point. I must get back there to reshoot the new scene...
