Ten autum park photo etudes from my recent Wednesday Walk: October, sometimes golden, and sometimes wet and lonely.

[qwerrie]

I processed part of the captures I did this week; here is ten October photo etudes from the streets and local park.

The late rose of autumn. There are still plenty buds ready to blossom! They are not aware what cruel frosty and warm-less world they risk to enter.

A crow - our local, eco-friendly production. Not some "Made in China" imported product. She let me come pretty close - not a hand's distance but still.

Beautiful picturesque reflections in the water -

...I can push the trigger and take the same capture more and more and more ;)

In this corner of the pond, pond'line has a lovely cape from which a duck nest can be seen up close.

This spot is especially good for feeding the birds. This time, the ducks received the wheat bread, but the seagulls weren't indifferent to the free giveaway either, and in the end, several of them also arrived to take part.

A luxurious yellow carpet of maple leaves is everywhere. It's impossible to resist collecting a few maple leaves... acorns... smooth, shiny, inviting chestnuts... Autumn is harvest time! And even in the city, nature also brings a harvest—like this!

Let me round up my post with this portrait of a girl creating a maple leaf wreath. It might not be the best photo from the set selected but... it's such a traditional subject that I can't pass by and always become touched and stop and take a shot.

Thanks for walking with me, see you next time!

Awesome shots my friend!
Would love to take such pictures of people just interacting with the world. But Germans hate it and get really pissed. on top the laws are pretty strict about it

[qwerrie]

Your compliment is a pleasure for my ears.
I'd love to say smth like '200mm telephoto is your best friend' -- but.....
yeah, there are nuances and nuances and nuances. I know is is more harsh and rediculos in Europe with shooting of strangers, pedestriand on the streets and so called 'public spaces', kids and on and on and one. last summer I had to erase about 25-30 GREAT SHOTS of 4 kids playing with sand castles on a beach, cause one of the parents noticed that and became furious. Sh..t happens all of the time, non-stop :/ but still. telephoto + less double takes + distance shots - and you walk away with the harvest. they will not arrange a law suit immediately, if you agree to delete 'illicit' photos right?.. or -----

Without a doubt, these scenes are wonderful, full of harmony, great tones, and perfect visual form.

The way you captured the picture is beautiful, I hope one day I can visit it too..

It was Mother Nature that did the most part, my input (editing of a .raw file in Photoshop) gave a little extra boost to the colours. Thankx for walking with me. Have a nice day! and a slice of Hive !PIZZA

Да. Такого уже нет. Хотя в парке желтый ковер еще есть. Но люди с черными мешками и пылесосами (!) над этим активно работают. А солнца уже совсем нет, что я могу за окном сейчас сфоткат - уже ваще не вдохновляет.
