Here's one to the upcoming fall. This was taken last year in Tettegouche state park, located on Minnesota's north shore. It was the quintisential, perfect fall day with cool, crisp air and a deep blue sky. I still have some really amazing memories of simply wandering around on the river and exploring, every bend bringing something new. This was on a stretch of river beyond the normal park trail system, so I had the river to myself. I was shooting medium format at the time so this only really enlarges well to 16x20-20x24. Regardless, it was and still is one of my favorites from last year.

I hope everyone has a productive season! :toast:

Here's the info on the shot:
Mamiya RB67, 90mm @ f22, Velveeta 100 pro (non F)

Those splashes of color are really amazing! Did you do any closeups on those?

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the comments.

Dan, this was the only compo that I took of this specific scene. I didn't really see a close-up at the time that really held together the way this composition did.
