All these pics are awesome to me. Our Fall foliage is beautiful also. Only Problem is that the land is so flat that you can't get a view without a pilot unless you go to the extreme northern areas.

I envy you folks in the hilly/mountainous regions. Unless you are looking down a highway or across a huge piece of farmland the average visability here I guess is maybe 50-100 yards.

More pics, please?

Sorry - no mountains again....

I got up to the Sawtooth range in the arrowhead off of Lake Superior- the Superior hiking trail- a few weeks back. It was peak. Golden and orange forest swallowed us up. Breathtakingly beautiful. I took pics, but couldnt capture it. It snowed a bit the day after we left.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish I had one of thse 360 degree panoramic cameras to get the feeling of being enveloped. :)

There was this amazing quality of the light, too. Overcast and glowy. Damp blackened bark, no sharp shadows, it was diffused. And when you walked in to the forest, you just stood in awe, glowing maples and dogwood as far as you could see.

The weather here in KC has been stupendous for the past couple of weeks. We've had a couple of light frosts, crisp chill mornings and evenings, with absolutely *perfect* afternoons...cloudless, blue, blue sky, light breezes. The absolute best of Fall weather that one can imagine.

I've taken the camera out a couple of times, and then promptly forgotten to shoot any pics. I shot a single majestic maple on the way to work the other day, but I keep missing the stretches of beautiful color. I'm too busy grooving on the Fall vibe, man.

Ok--just for something different on a friday: it's damn chilly here in the Valley, but some puny sun is trying to break through so perhaps the day can still redeem itself. My energy bills have tripled so it's freezing in my house as well. This feels like a curl up and nap day...then again, just about every day feels like that lately. (imagine yawn smiley *here*)

The weather in DC has been very nice, up until this cold front blew through a couple days ago. This morning, on my walk to the metro, it was 27 degrees. Them there are winter temperatures. I'm not quite mentally prepared for winter yet. Oh well. Guess I have no choice.

It is totally goddamned cold in Philadelphia. They called a Code Blue for the Homeless last night. Last week it was 70°F.

We skipped fall this year.

Yeah, it was September on Wednesday, October yesterday, and today it's November.

I have this and it works. There is a $500 version too, but the difference is not worth the $470, for me. Download trial version available, and *super* easy to use. It takes as its input regular pictures you've taken in sequence, as you simulate a panoramic picture, even up to 360 deg. You know, the kind you take when you hold the camera up, snap, rotate your body some amount, overlapping the frame a little, snap, rotate, repeat, etc. It takes that sequence of pictures and "stitches" them together automagically. Works slick. Check it out.

My camera will do that (in conjunction with the supplied software) if I use the supplied memory card. What i was thinking of is the ones that take 360 degrees horizontally and vertically. :)

Ahh, this is what you're looking for then. We used these when I worked for the cruise line, as part of the virtual tours onboard ship, and for our hotel properties. They work really slick.

But you're gonna have to tack on a couple/three zeros onto the invoice, bub.

Do A Google for auto stitch. Some free ones there.
