Most times I go out shooting with a general plan. My time is very limited, so I’ll often make notes of places I want to shoot and work out a certain composition in my mind ahead of time. I’ll think about the details of some of these plans for weeks or even months. Then it’s a matter of waiting for the conditions to be right both at the location and also here at home. I either have to go out when everyone is sleeping or drag everyone along with me…depends. There are other times when I’ll just go out to see what I can see. Both are equally pleasing for me.
A few weeks ago I went out with a plan. I needed shots for my Wednesday theme…badly. I didn’t have anything particular in mind, though.
Fall is a beautiful time of year, and every day is lovely. However, there are a few days, about a week and a half or so, when the entire day is filled with a light that stays warm and sweet throughout. It must be a combination of the placement of the sun in the sky and the way its light filters through the colored leaves. Anyway, it makes everything look its best, no? I was driving through town and saw this scene and had to stop to take a few shots of this restaurant in that lovely and fleeting autumn light.
Such a crisp and airy feel here! I can hear the leaves rustle along the curb...
i like the colors around the photo specially the blue sky. as i'm looking at the photo, i can't identify what is the main theme! is it the tree, the light post, or etc but i did get the feeling of color right away :)
gorgeous colours and great light...truly well captured..
I think I need to sit on that bench and bask in the Fall sun. What an inviting composition, Micki.
Such a great capture! And a feeling of not so long ago. Now it's all winter up here... :( So I like this shot!

I think if I allow myself I could feel the wind pick up rustle through those leaves like a wonderful autumn wind chime!
I love the collonial styled architecture to Micki. I envy you and others on your side of the world with the wonderful extremes of colours you access to.
Very nice colors. I like autumn too, but it seems to last so short before we're in the gray skies of winter here.
What a lovely image. Your town is so pretty!
This is such a pretty, light and airy shot that it seems almost too good to be reality . . as if someone had dreamed up a perfect scene in an idyllic town.
You weren't kidding when you said Wednesdays are for color, there's loads of it here. Love it.
Micki, this indeed is a sweet autumn scene. Sometimes planning goes out of the window and luck plays a part. Lovely shot.
Nice street scene!!
This is one of those photos that seems like I could just walk right into.
The color is so vivid and totally rocks.
And don't give the "light" all the credit. Having the eye to take the photo deserves notice.

Lovely photo the leaves still on the trees blue in the sky and NO snow!!
My kind of town!
nice capture Micki :)
wonderful hints of colour here and there. If only digital could look as nice.
lovely shot...i like composition and mixed of colors:-))
this shot gets more and more attractive the lnger i look at it - it really looks a noce place you live.
Love the composition and framing...nice one!
lovely use of the polarizer, micki :o) adds so much contrast and amazing color. great little shot of town!
Very crisp and beautiful colors, great shot Micki!
Your shots in town make me want to move so badly!
I promised the boys they can finish school here. I only have 4.5 more years LOL I hate the big city! and after the boys graduate we are moving out of it! we already have a couple area's staked out LOL
I know what you mean about that light in the fall...it's past us now and we are wearing our grey and brown for the winter.
This is definitely a shot that captures that wonderful warm light of fall.
Nice shot, great colour.
wow, everything has already been said... the colors are amazing, i love this capture!
