Reflections on Sunday morning

Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008

There are a lot elements that I like in this picture. I like the fall colors, I like the reflection, and I really like the fly fisherman near the middle of the image. There are always things that I see in an image and wish I'd done differently. For instance here, I wish I could walk on water so that I had been about half as far from the fisherman, and then he is also a little out of focus. It's fine for this size of an image, but I'd want to use a different version of the shot for anything larger. But really, altogether, I think it turned out nicely. If you'd like to see a larger version, here's something a little bigger.

We really lucked out with the pictures at this location. I think I took 40 pictures of this fisherman. When we pulled out our gear, he was actually fishing further downstream, behind us here, at a location that wasn't particularly scenic. However, as we were setting up, he walked right into this scene, and I couldn't be happier that he did so.

This concludes the photo journal from the fall colors trip. My father-in-law's camera is back in Iowa (thanks Dave!), I don't have a lot of time for photography, and post-fall colors, NC is marginal for photography anyway. That all adds up to this site probably being slow until at least Thanksgiving.
