Seeing Autumn through my Bridge Spectacles by alophoto

Seeing Autumn through my Bridge Spectacles

Today I had a spontaneous mini 365 meet-up with Meg (@megmills). It's gorgeous out, the leaves are so amazing. It seems that the red and orange leaves are in their height of color now. I showed her some of my favorite places for photos (the horse farm, the waterfall...and the bike trail) and where I park to capture them and then we went to a trail and hiked along looking at fabulous fall.

It was a great morning, though Clara was bored and fell asleep in the stroller while we walked, kept stopping for photos and chatted about boring adult stuff (blah, blah, blah).

Thanks so much for your fabulous comments and support in the past week or so. My Faux Sunset Heron shot made TT this week! I was so pleased. I appreciate you all and wish you a wonderful weekend!!

Here is Meg's shot from our time out: http://365project.org/megmills/365/2013-11-01

Also, I captured this same bridge last year with my p&s, and I was able to get in the whole thing and not just the specs: http://365project.org/amandal/365/2012-11-18
@megmills Here you go...look through the bridge specs. See what I mean about my lens not being able to go very wide? I do like the way it looks like glasses, though. I had fun. Thanks, friend!!

It is always special to meet another 365'er. Clever title for this photo. The location, light, and spots of color are all rally nice.
November 2nd, 2013  
Isn't it great to have meet-ups? I love them. Your capture of this bridge reminds me of how we describe the imperial moat bridge in Japan -- we call them "glasses" bridge. Beautiful depiction of fall, too.
November 2nd, 2013  
nice
November 2nd, 2013  
great shot. you caught the colourful trees beautifully. and clever re the specs.
November 2nd, 2013  
Just perfect Fav

November 2nd, 2013  
meant to say fallness
November 2nd, 2013

November 2nd, 2013  
Beautiful image Amanda :)
November 2nd, 2013  
Congratulations on the TT! I like your glasses.
November 2nd, 2013  
I should probably explain that we call spectacles glasses in the UK - just in case you think I"'ve gone mad.
November 2nd, 2013

Great composition, neat geometry
November 2nd, 2013  
@dh We call them glasses, too. I just thought that specs sounded more fun in the title. Thanks, friend!
November 2nd, 2013  
Wow, great capture, beautiful glasses :-)
November 2nd, 2013  
Wow! And I tell you I love your bridge spectacles.
November 2nd, 2013  
Such a fitting title! What a great composition you have created.
November 2nd, 2013  
Great shot. It a beautiful spot. It would look even better with a wider lens as you commented. Love the title as well. Fav.
November 3rd, 2013  
gorgeous reflection
November 3rd, 2013  
This has a lovely early morning sheen to it.
November 3rd, 2013  
Wonderful. Such a great reflection again xx
November 3rd, 2013  
Lovely shot - beautifully composed
November 3rd, 2013

@thirtysevenways Last year I captured this same bridge with my p&s. I got the whole thing. Just having one stinkin' lens that only allows me to see so much really kills me sometimes, but...I need to start earning some money for photos so that I can afford more lenses. I keep saying it, but I need to take some action and start trying to sell online. This weekend I saw a handful of photographers doing portrait shoots and I was a little envious. Thanks so much for the fav, friend!! Here is the shot from last year: http://365project.org/amandal/365/2012-11-18

@amandal that's such a big difference. Why don't you get your move done and Christmas then focus on the photography business. Do the research now then when you have the stress of the move out of the way you can focus fully on it.
November 4th, 2013  
@megmills Thanks so much friend. How did yours come out? Mine from last year with my p&s looked like this: http://365project.org/amandal/365/2012-11-18

@tonydebont Thanks so much for your great comments and fav, Tony! I appreciate you!

@estherhelen Thanks so much for your sweet fav, Esther!

@jyokota It is so great. I really should more often. There are a bunch of us 365ers here in Cincy. I'd love to see your glasses bridge. Do you have any photos of it?

@simon0128 Thanks so much for the fav, Simon!!
November 4th, 2013  
@darsphotos Thanks so much for the fav and kind comments, my sweet friend.
November 4th, 2013  
@moreyoulessme You are so sweet, Jerri...wish you could meet up with us. We have a decent sized group of 365ers here in Cincy. Thanks so much for your wonderful and kind comments!
November 4th, 2013  
Instant fav! I love the spectacles formed by the reflection. The colors are gorgeous.
November 4th, 2013  
Beautiful colours and composition...
November 4th, 2013  
@taffy Thanks so much for that, Taffy!!
November 4th, 2013  
@thirtysevenways Great plan and thoughts, Andy! Thanks so much. I look forward to figure it out!:)

@ericdibosco Thanks so much, Eric!!
November 4th, 2013

November 4th, 2013  
@cathrinemitch Aw, thanks so much, kind lady! I appreciate your great comments, my friend!
November 5th, 2013  
That's clever. Now, I love living in the UK, no-one prouder of being English than me, but I do envy you American's your bridges!!
November 5th, 2013  
ha ha - wonderful title and suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper shot - gorgeous natural colours and stunning scenery amanda - fav
November 6th, 2013  
@seanoneill You've got some pretty amazing architecture over there, too. I so need to see Kings Station. That place amazes me. And some of your glorious cathedrals. Come on over, I'll show you some bridges sometime. My favorite is the Golden Gate! Thanks, Sean. I had to be clever since I couldn't go wider and get the whole thing. My lens really kills me sometimes. I look forward to getting more, hopefully sooner rather than later!

@gozoinklings Oh lady, I just love and appreciate your great comments so much!! Thank you, friend!!!
November 7th, 2013  
Fantastic image. Loving your nature shots Amanda :)
