Inspired by Frank at Dutch goes the Photo: Focus
Yesterday I went on a walk around a nearby neighborhood. Late afternoon when the light softens and begins filtering in from an angle. Some call it the “golden hour.” My favorite time of day to catch nature at its finest.
Trees lined the quiet streets, interrupted by flower gardens in varyious stages of late summer wilt. Very little breeze to interrupt my focusing attempts.
I took along my (relatively) new camera (thanks Frank, for the tips on venturing into the digital full frame mirrorless mode!) to have more fun with its macro lens. Good thing I don’t have to worry about wasting film.
My contributions for this challenge:
The first few leaves shifting to fall colors, even though it is still technically Summer.
Leaves that jumped past Autumn.
And some caught right in the middle.

I must admit I’m sad to see summer end but your leaves are beautiful. At least color comes with the cooler weather!

Thank you! Yes, the upside of the cooler weather is color (and no bugs!).

Great photos – I don’t know what that setting is (I doubt my old camera has it anyhow), but you did a great job catching bokeh shots!!! The colors are lovely and the backlighting is stunning!! Nice job!

Thanks! Glad you liked it. It was an adventure and I switched settings around for each shot. Experimenting with the options I am still learning to use.
