Hi folks,

sorry have not been active for a few days.. just not feeling up to it... I think is the wet weather finally get to me, after all, it has been 3 weeks of rain.. and Yay!!! Today finally we see the beautiful sunlight! Just gorgeous but sadly tomorrow is back to thunder storm and heavy rain again for the rest of the week till next Monday.

This is one of the shot I took last year, since this year I haven't captured any of the autumn colours, here I am posting one from last year. Hope you like it,

Hi Sweety,
So the weather was a bugger indeed ... but at least the color of autumn somehow brighten up the scene ... just like the beautiful color of this leaf. Well captured and presented. Well done! tfs

What's wrong with the weather Sweety? We had no wet weather while on holiday in the South Island and Auckland had those bad storms. And last week we missed Auckland's rain as we were down Ruapehu. Sorry to rub it in!!

Pretty autumn colours Sweety, though I would like to see it a little sharper. But I like how the red shows up against the yellow BG. It is a nicely shaped leaf,

Hi Sweetie, After our long summer this rain does get you down, I agree. This is a beautiful Autumn shot-the colours are great and nicely composed! Well done! Cheers, Pat.

Hi,
Nice autumnal leaf looking like a hand and its fingers.

OK...i maybe just want to wish a more dof. or maybe to get all of this leaf in focus :) I like the idea though

When I look at your camera settings Sweety, there obviously wasn't much light. Normally speaking you could have more sharpness in this image if you can use a higher aperture, or F-stop. But at 1/100 shutterspeed, there is no room for that. Or els you'd have to use the flash which in this case would take away a lot of the colors.

I really like the atmosphere of this shot dear... goes with autumn!... and so does the rain.

I hope you will feel better soon.
We fortunately have some sunny days here now and temperatures are up finally.

Cheers,
Anneke

P.s.: Don't be sad dear... Markus will be home before you know it...

Sweety Hi:
Hope you are feeling better soon. Thanks for the note.
I like this composition, very good color, clarity and lighting.
Well done.

Hello Sweety

Beautiful autumnal composition. I like the maples, especially this time of the year when their leaves change through a kaleidoscope of colours.

Regards, and TFS,

Hi Sweety
beautiful colours of autumn. I like the maples leaves.

Hi Sweety,
It appears weird to me autumn colours in May :-) We have her full summer tempratures, nature is full of lush green......OK ok I won't rub it in. Regarding the posting, I have the same remarks as Janice and Anneke, so I won't repeat it. Nevertheless I like the presentation of the wonderful colours here. Cheers my dear and I'm looking forward to the summer colours of New Zealand :-)

Hello Sweety,

Very nice colors of autumn.I love the red leaf.Works great with the yellow background.

Thanks for sharing,

Hello Sweety,
A nice reminder of the season you're in at the moment!
That said, I think NZ must be one of the places in the world with the most likable weather, never too hot never too cold never too dry never too rainy!
Happy Autumn...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Maybe more beautiful days like this will come and maybe then you have time to capture some new ones.
Lovely Sweety - the colours in the BG make this even more attractive.

Hi Sweety,
Is it that bad down there in Auckland these days ,not the best autumn with all that rain but still you have to go out there and get some 'lousy weather 'shots ,,,lol, you would be very surprised what you can come up with ! Like the suspended mid-air soft impression here almost like a painting yep ,cool stuff

TFS and wish you a change of weather for your region to lift your spirits up ,
Carol
