Fall in Morton Park, Plymouth, MA.

New England has the best color this time of year, beautiful to behold and amazing opportunities to play with color and light! I visited Morton Park in Plymouth with my friend Jean this week, a lovely fall day. Using only my Lensbaby Composer with my Canon 6D, a nice light set up, and easy to carry around as we hiked a few trails.

Fall splendor!

I'm often attracted to bright colors!

So where are the fish??

Holding promise.

These next few images are taken at Billington Sea Kayak.

Fall Multiple Exposure Photography with a Canon 6D

I had the pleasure of organizing a workshop taught by Charles Needle, a talented teacher and photographer from Seattle, this past weekend in Plymouth, MA. All 9 students learned new techniques making original photographs mainly using our cameras to make multiple exposures. What a fun time and it was a lovely day on the pond of learning and photography!

Here's what I came up with, fun techniques!

Our workshop teacher, Charles Needle, helping a student with their camera settings.

Jeremie's dog Beau enjoying a day outside, too.  One exposure.

 Edie and Felix, also one exposure....

 Charles Needle and Andrea. We had tripods and flowers everywhere!

Good friends Jeremie and Louise, with Beau wondering where his camera is.

Tricky balance.

Mums and Geraniums.

Lucca with my iPhone 5S

Sometimes using my iPhone is just simpler, and much less bulky and heavy to carry around. Here are some iPhone shots of Lucca, some processed in Lightroom and some using good old Snapseed... best app around for a quick edit on an iPad or iPhone. And it's free.

Piazza S. Michele, center of everything.

Tourists or students taking a break, maybe both.

Piazza Antifeatro.

 My three companeros out at night.

A villa near to Lucca, day trip via car.

 Good ol' Gelato everyday.

The bar is IN the supermarket! Coffee and champagne, beer, whatever you want...

Esselunga... very popular.

 Really fancy market.

Lucca at Night

On the wall at sunset in Lucca is where Joe and I go to see the end of the day, along with all the joggers and other bicyclists getting some fresh air. The main banner for this blog at the moment has a photo of the amazing Lucca wall.

 First a few images from our balcony over looking the Piazza Santa Maria Foris Portam.

Sunset on the Lucca wall near Porta S. Maria.

Same area, where the popular spot to rent bicycles is located.

 After sunset a few tries at capturing more slow shutter speed bicyclists, bright red is good!

Dressed up on a bicycle.

 Cell phone and bicycle.

The piazza where we live, our balcony is just above the really small walking person wearing red.
