Description I recently visited Hall lake at sunrise to catch some of the autumn color before all of the leaves disappear. I got some nice shots, but I wanted to post this because I like what I was going with.

I hadn't at this point learned how to set up the camera completely manually, so, the depth of field isn't what I'd like it to be. Maybe I'll take the shot again sometime. I'm fully aware that it's a little blurry, but, I still like it.

~Dave

Oh, and interestingly enough, I showed up there before the sun came up and there happened to be another photographer standing there with a Canon 20D and a Digital Rebel XT. So, we talked for a while and he gave me some info on the 20D. It was fun.

Actually expect some good shots sometime. I'm a weird boy and I sit here working on the not so great ones, trying to redeem them, and then totally neglect the good stuff. hahaha.

I know exactly where this is. Wish I'd had the time to make it out myself, but at least I can enjoy your view of it. I love the lightness of the mist as it contrasts against the dark heavy colors of the bg.

Hall Lake... hmm can never go wrong with that can you. I think that is why me and you are waking up early to get to Hall Lake early in the morning tomorrow. Love this picture, I think it has kind of an evil look to it. Nice.

I love this... It's so moody, which is in stark contrast to the vibrant colors. Well captured. And for the record, I do the same thing, where I try to fix the bad shots and ignore the good ones.

Very pretty ^_^. This is exactly why I love fall -- the leaves are changing and theres *always* steam rising off water in the morning... or at least most the time... it's all... mystical. Or at least I think so.

Beautiful dude

that's really beautiful.
the colours are great. this pic shows excatly what those famous fall colours are

that blurriness doesn't bother me too much. actually it gives a nice hint of mystery.
