Great Falls, Infrared style

Great Falls, Infrared style

Just realized that I had never posted the shot that I was setting up when I made a friend at Great Falls Park. Terrible oversight…

I’m not entirely happy with the result, I have to say. I had read online that my camera wasn’t a great fit for IR, but since I love IR and I don’t want to switch… Continue reading

Hanging On

Hanging On

This leaf apparently didn’t get the memo that it’s Fall.
Although all shriveled, it’s still hanging on for a few more days before it joins its siblings on the ground.
I don’t think the persistence will pay off, but it’s an admirable quality… Continue reading

Crocodile Log

I’ve seen crocodiles that look like logs, that’s a pretty standard trick for crocodiles.
But this was the first time I saw a log that looked like a crocodile.
Guess there’s a first time for everything… Continue reading

A Leaf Covered Road, going towards Winter

Going to Great Falls really early, I was able to capture this image, of one of the main paths in the park, completely empty, covered in fallen leaves.
There is something that draws me to this kind of scenario, specially in B&W, because of the peaceful nature of it.
One could say it’s a somber image, but I think it’s very uplifting to see this small piece of nature going through the… Continue reading

Camera Milestone

Camera Milestone

After 4+ years, my little camera (ok, maybe not little) has reached 30.000 snaps.

Would I like to trade it in for a full frame 5D? Hell Yes.

Am I happy with it now, being so reliable in so many different conditions, helping me capture so many great images? Bigger Hell Yes!

So to commemorate the milestone, I treated the camera to a little fall shooting.
And… Continue reading

Still at Rock Creek Park

Last one at Rock Creek Park (at least until the next visit).
Kept this one for last because I kept trying to get a better shot of it, but the weather has been terrible still, so no luck so far… Continue reading

Rock Creek Park during the Fall

The leaves are simply amazing right now at Rock Creek Park.

The weather has been extra crappy the last week (today is a gorgeous combination of 18% and 75% gray in the sky – lovely), but I managed to get this one during a break in the crappiness… Continue reading

The Loneliness of the Long Falling Leaf

The Loneliness of the Long Falling Leaf

Ok, pathetic attempt at the title.

But, that aside, I just loved this leaf when I spotted it and had to take a picture of it. One of the best things about Fall are the all the colors, just lying around waiting to be photographed. Ah, how I love the Fall… Continue reading

Glen Echo Stream

Probably the last day I could take this picture at Glen Echo Park, for Fall is arriving in the DC area very fast and the trees are becoming more colorful everyday.
There are already plenty of fallen leaves, as you can see in the rocks, but the most remaining ones are still green… Continue reading
