The Universe (as I see it)

Autumn Colours and missed photos

I decided to take a break from the travel photos for a bit – don’t worry, I’ll have more up soon. :) I had gathered a few photos since I returned from Europe that I’ve just been itching to share.

I’ll start with some that I took during the last leg of the summer. Desi and I took a day trip to Toronto Island, which is always a wonderful place to spend the afternoon. While there, I managed to get a great macro photo of a dragonfly resting on a twig:

On our way back, I had to grab the quintessential Toronto cityline photo:

A week or so later, I was driving home from work and a large storm system was just leaving the area, letting the evening sun poke in at a steep angle. The rain was still falling in the distance, which made for a wonderful double rainbow. I had to stop and take a photo:

Also in September I talked at the Barrie Users Group about Night Photography, and took some of the members out for a little walk around town afterwards. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, and here is a sample of the pictures I took:

There’s a few more in the gallery below:

When I made my trip to Sudbury on October 17th, I had a little time in the afternoon to search out some good autumn colour photos. Sadly, much of the Sudbury area was brown and dead by this point. I was, however, able to find a few gems with my macro lens:
