    Default New England & Canada

    Nice appreciation of our Autumn colours here John, thanks for the pics.

    We were in the New England & Eastern Canada regions last year during their fall season ,we were totally blown away by the range of colours up & down the highways in that time there.

    Cheers

    They are most beautiful photos. Olinda is not far from my home town of Berwick and I visit there when I return home on holidays most times.

    May I ask what Camera you used to take those photos as I am thinking of purchasing a better quality camera.

    Thank you

    Great photos John

    Would you believe that first photo of the timber bridge is across to the island is where I got married the first time (or at least it looks like it). I remember my bride arriving over the bridge looking beautiful, but unfortunately almost tripped as she helped her father, an alcoholic and too drunk to walk .

    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Thanks Woody, I'm using a Canon 7d, most of the pics were taken with a Sigma 17-70 f2.8 lens (my favourite).

    Must have been an awkward moment for you Neil.

    Thanks John, I don't think our Autumn colours come anywhere near as intense as the colours they get in the northern hemisphere. Maybe the climate here is too mild to bring out the intense colours they get up there.

    Great picks. Must be time to go look at the ginkgo tree over that pond again. My camera aint so good though. Love the red against the sky. Nothing beats our autumn sky blue.
