Wahe with fall colors

Post by chameleon » October 28th, 2008, 10:26 am

On Monday I hiked up Munra pt. and then back down to the stream and hiked up to the third falls on Moffett and back hoping to get some good fall colors on the stream. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and I was not disappointed by the colors. They were great!

I've posted a few photos, and will post more later.

Great shots Zach, that first shot of Wahe is probably one of the best I've seen… cheers

Chamelon, Those are great pictures. Can you please tell me what kind of camera that is? I am in the market for a new one this Christmas and those pics are very good. Thanks in advance

Runman 76,
For all of those pics that day, I used my Kodak P880. I bought it a couple years ago when they discontinued it (for $250). I also have a Canon XSI (12 mp), but believe it or not, for water shots I simply still prefer my Kodak (8mp). It is very slow processing images, and terrible with macro, but for water and colors, it is phenomonal. It also gives you the option to record images in TIFF (which I love!!), and the image quality is really not that much worse than my canon. I'm extremely disappointed that they discontinued the camera. I just hope mine will keep working for a while longer.
If you search online, you may still be able to find a few stores that still have one or two in stock, and if you do and can afford it, my advice would be to snatch it up!

More than the camera, Chameleon has an eye for composition. Likely he could take great pictures no matter what the brand of camera. It's what makes the pictures he takes 'art' and the pictures I take 'documentation'.

Fantastic explanation. I have often wondered how to explain the fact that my photos seem so ordinary, while the same shot from someone else seems so spectacular. I love that - "documentation" - that is exactly what my photos are. And that isn't a bad thing, or even that my photos themselves are "bad" - just simply documenting the view at the time.
