Oakwood Cemetery Foliage

Oakwood Cemetery is not close to home, it's also one of the best locations I know to get up close with colorful trees. I walked around yesterday with the 45mm lens and today with the 100-400mm lens. Here are four image from each day.

Color, Sun and Fog

Temperatures were forecast to dip well below freezing last night so I planned to head out early hoping for some frosty and foggy scenics. I made three stops, two at different locations in Saratoga National Historical Park, and at Lighthouse Park along the Hudson River in the town of Halfmoon.

1 for 3 - Maine Sunrise

While it wasn't one of my favorite Maine sunrises, at least the sun made an appearance yesterday. A good baseball batting average but not particularly satisfying for a once a year visit to Maine.

I made images, almost in complete darkness, with the 45mm f/1.2 lens wide open with a high ISO. Not particularly realistic but interesting. I only included one of these here.

All uploaded images from the trip can be viewed at https://davidtruland.smugmug.com/Color/Maine-2026. I also added a half dozen images to the black and white Maine gallery at https://davidtruland.smugmug.com/Black-White/Maine-Coast.
