I took this photo with my Canon 550D using a standard 18-55mm lens.
Basically what I wanted to capture was the cold and dark Swedish autumn.
And to do so I actually took 3 photos that I merged together in photoshop. 2 of the images being quite straight forward with the only difference being the depth of field of them, and the third image taken freelensing in order to get the crazy silhouette and really blurry result that is seen around the edges. And that actually is how straight forward it was, and also no other postprocessing was used than some simple merging!

Went to the Thunder Mountain Monument in Nevada. This was shot through the broken back window of a car that has experienced many many years of decay… shot in Fall, but in a constant state of change.

Lone Warrior: I actually stumbled upon this little guy as I was returning from taking pictures. This lone leaf must have been on a mission because it managed to get to the fourth floor of an indoor staircase.
Shot taken with my Ricoh CX3 digital camera with 10.7x wide angle optical macro zoom in dynamic range double shot mode. Auto ISO.

Bench Warmer: I am currently in college at James Madison University and I live near a park which is where I took most of my pictures. I tried to incorporate some of the man-made structures with the beautiful nature of Fall. This ended up being my favorite.

This was taken on the Poudre River in Colorado with a Canon 24-105mm f/4L on a Canon EOS 7D. I really wanted to go for an ethereal look, so I slapped on my B+W 10 stop ND filter. In my first couple attempts the leaf shifted halfway through the ~100 second exposure and ruined the shot. That ended up working out for me though, as by the time I got this shot the sun was setting and provided the nicely colored reflections on the rocks!
