This is for all of our families and friends who cannot experience the beautiful season of Fall, simply because of their geographic locations… this is through my eyes, with the company of my family sharing the love for photography… Happy Fall to all! For my fellow Chicagoans and Midwesterners, it’s not too late to capture the beauty… go out there and shoot! It’s not going to last much longer… See behind the scene photos here.
Camera : Nikon D3
Lenses: 50mm & 105mm
The beauty about not having to drive… I shot this through the window of our car en route to Starved Rock. The rays of sunlight was amazing!
Again, through the window of our car… Power lines that look like Pokemon…
Real life Farmville… lol… Thanks Mari for the heads up!
There were sooo many lady bugs!
It actually rained for about 10 minutes right when we arrived… passing rain, perfect for water droplets on the leaves…
My 9 year old niece, Maddie, found this little snake (about the size of a large earthworm) in the grass… how she found him, I have no idea… I “burned” the edges just to make him pop out a little bit in the photo. Otherwise, the color of this snake helps to camouflage him against the grass, sticks, and dried leaves.
We wanted to travel light and did not bring a tripod, but I really wanted to slow my shutter down to capture the motion of the waterfall. Held my breath, wedged myself right against the rocks and squeezed my shutter.
f 14, 1/5 s, with continuous shutter release of my camera.
