Autumn 2006

It's a delayed autumn and winter here at London. Last five days I motorbiked to work, I couldn't but notice the rate at which trees have shed leaves and changed colors. Each day felt a new season.

I was sure the autumn is at its peak and that its the best time to go photographing to the country. After much exploring, the decision was to head to my local forest park - Hainault Forest.

Pictures follow.

I wasn't alone. Guess its like 'that time of the year' for photographers. Dave, my friend at work also mentioned would go for a photography expedition for the weekend.





I have been training a dozen of seagulls at this park for a while now. They are quick learners. Yesterday, I ordered them to line up on the logs for a picture.



As an amateur photographer I am learning to zoom into my subject space these days. So much so I think I need a macro lens now. This one, yet again was spotted by Ramya. She's not only a perfect camera gears manager but a keen observer. The highlight of the day was this Robin.


Wasn't easy tracking these flying ducks


Some demonstration of Autumn colors follow





Lastly, to express my zeal for London photography as always - I zoomed in to capture the skyline of central london thats from this park about13 miles away (birds flight distance). Against the sunlight, not best visibility one could have, the result isn't a perfect picture but it makes it to the blog. Even the London Eye can be seen.
