I took this in raw, and this is using the camera’s black and white mode. The color view is posted today on my personal blog.

• Aperture: ƒ/5.6
• Camera: E-P1
• Focal length: 42mm
• Shutter speed: 1/25s

• Aperture: ƒ/5.6
• Camera: E-P1
• Focal length: 42mm
• Shutter speed: 1/100s

I couldn’t decide between these two, and since the challenge is “officially” over, I don’t feel bad about doing what I want and uploading both.

• Aperture: ƒ/4.5
• Camera: E-P1
• Focal length: 14mm
• Shutter speed: 1/100s

This is EXACTLY how it looked this morning. God is the greatest painter EVER.

• Aperture: ƒ/5
• Camera: E-P1
• Focal length: 14mm
• Shutter speed: 1/20s

• Aperture: ƒ/4.1
• Camera: E-P1
• Focal length: 21mm

These are the greatest trees. Red leaves in fall, and it flowers out in the spring. That’s why we had to plant one in the backyard.

• Camera: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT

• Shutter speed: 1/400s

I have been using a different camera all week, so this one has been sitting on the camera. It was right after sunrise while the sky is still fairly dark. Once again, I am discovering how the polarizing filter darkens down the corners when pointed away from the sun. I didn’t mess with the picture to get those dark corners.

• Aperture: ƒ/5.6
• Camera: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
• Focal length: 85mm
• Shutter speed: 1/800s

• Aperture: ƒ/3.5
• Camera: E-P1
• Focal length: 14mm
• Shutter speed: 1/640s

Okay, this was playing around with the camera’s art filters-which is basically in camera photoshop. You’ll be shocked to know that it wasn’t b&w and grainy in real life.

• Aperture: ƒ/5.6
• Camera: E-P1
• Focal length: 42mm
• Shutter speed: 1/160s

Since it’s impossible in this high wind to get a closeup picture of leaves on the tree, you get the ones that are sitting on the sidewalk instead.

• Aperture: ƒ/6.3
• Camera: E-P1
• Focal length: 14mm
• Shutter speed: 1/100s

I have really enjoyed taking pictures this month and I’ve thought the website has worked great. But, we’ve all been lamenting that fact that it hasn’t looked or felt like fall. And so I spent a whole 5 seconds thinking this morning about what would make the autumn challenge even more awesome, and I came up with one word – HAIKU! So, here is my silly little haiku (because I am in one of those moods today).

Oh fall where are you
All month long taking pictures
In my short sleeve shirts

• Aperture: ƒ/10
• Camera: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
• Focal length: 85mm

For those who have never seen this before, you do a long exposure and use a little flashlight to “paint” whatever you want.

• Aperture: ƒ/22
• Camera: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
• Focal length: 17mm
• Shutter speed: 20s

(sigh) yet another non-autumn post from me.

• Aperture: ƒ/2.8
• Camera: SQ908 MEGA-Cam
• Shutter speed: 1/827s

I can honestly say that my picture for today is just fall colored as Kara’s!

Oh, and this was taken at a city park in San Saba, Texas.
