Autumn is such a wonderful time at Revolve Farms. With fall colours and morning light there are many opportunities for image making and the maple beside the barn is a great place to start ...

... and there is much more. Every day can present something new. On this morning is was autumn colour in the rising, early morning sun. A day later, it was frost enhancing so many of the scenes and details.

Something out of sync with my usual weekly post ...

These images had already been shared to social media; flickr, Facebook & Instagram, but an inquiry regarding use of one of my images from this outing had me looking back through the set and experiencing that early morning walk again. So I thought I would take you back too :-)

' fire and horizon meet '

The moment is fleeting when fire meets the horizon. It lasts for only a few heartbeats and always offers something truly unique and full of wonder ...

' PT Autumn II '

Out for a drive along local fall roads 2026, I was able to stop and park the vehicle off to the road to the shoulders and move about freely to work alter compositions the scene provided. Here I've chosen to stand at the crest of a hill and frame looking down the slope into the mist lying in the hollow.

 

Fall is a wonderful time to be out with camera. For a few years now, I've driven some local backroads shooting the fall colours and have always enjoyed the outing. It's something that I plan to continue.

I gave it a couple of weeks after my last drive dedicated to photographing the fall colours, and chose some rural sideroads closer to home one morning ...

It doesn't require that I drive far to have some great settings for autumn roads images. In fact most of the roads in the township that borders my home city of Guelph provide great opportunities for the type of images I wanted to make.

 

Even though I may have driven the same road in previous years, there are always changes, trees get bigger, die or get cut by by local utility providers. Colours arrive at different times year over year.

 

As usual, I went kitted up with two camera bodies, each with a different lens choice. On one body I mounted the venerable RF 24-105mm f/4 L, likely my most common lens choice and an great all-round lens. The second body was sporting the (also) venerable EF 70-200 f/2.8 L III on a Canon EF to RF adapter. I love the 70-200 for the additional reach and scene compression it offers when I push out beyond 105mm. It's also tack sharp with speedy and reliable focusing.

 

The three images I chose to present above were all made using the 70-200 at different focal lengths but I also zoomed using my feet (i.e. I moved to alter the composition for each image). The main element in the scene, the arch formed by the trees remained the same but each image tells a different story ...
