Challenge 1 Result / JC/ Autumn Landscape

Lake in October, originally uploaded by breadthless.

I wish there were more red leaves around here! We are too far south I guess? Actually I have no idea what contributes to the color of fall leaves... must go google that now.

This is my favorite single-leaf photo that I took this week.

Challenge 1: autumn leaves

Okay JK I am issuing our first challenge! Take pictures of autumn leaves, getting at least one shot you love in each category:

1. Close-up on a single leaf
2. Focus on one tree
3. Broad landscape. (Or, you know, multiple trees, whatever.)

Each of us will post our results next week.

ps: You aren't already all snowed in up there are you? :P

Taken with Nikon D5000 kit lens, auto everything because I still have no idea what I am doing!

My lone attempt at something a little broader, mixed results. I like the sea and clouds, but somehow the composition just doesn't work for me.
