Day 160 - The rains did stop, albeit temporarily

It's going to be a quick post for this evening.  I took all these images at the little duck pond that I used to frequent during the summer.  It's nice to see the ducks are still around, but late at night I hear the geese and I'm certain they are on their migratory journey southwards.  Feels depressing to think that winter's knocking on the door, but strangely, this year I feel much better about it than I have in any other year.  Maybe because I know that I will go out and do some photography at least, and mostly, I will be catching up on flash photography.

Today's shots are handheld as usual, except for the long exposure I did on the fountain.  I had rested the camera on the ledge of a rock and then shot this.  I had gone out with my complete gear, so had the opportunity to use all three of my lenses.  Lots of shots, but I processed only a handful for the post.  I'm like a squirrel storing its nuts for the winter.  Those shots will be brought out of the bag in the near future again! ;)

The last one is when I was almost home and saw this tree turned to gold under a street light.  This is SOOC, shot at 1/15s, f4.5, ISO 200, at 90 mm.
