Hi Don,

A terrific set of images showcasing nature at its finest. Terrific detail in evidence throughout, but the final image is our favourite (what a little cutie!).

Thank you for sharing...

Hi David,

A simple, but enticing, composition that draws the viewer in (and makes them want to reach out and take a refreshing sip) - cheers!

Thanks. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how one looks at it), I was enticed to take too many sips that night. Thank Canon for great IBIS.

The final fall color photos for the year and some birds I picked up along the way.

A silhouetted pine tree in front of Beaver Pond in New Hampshire.

Route 114 near Beaver Pond is a colorful drive

The Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire also provides a nice, colorful drive. In this photo I was able to frame the setting moon over the road

Mount Willard and Mount Jackson provide a striking background for Willey Pond in Crawford Notch State Park in New Hampshire

I took this photo of Beaver Brook Falls in Colebrook, New Hampshire at dusk with a 20 sec exposure, which gave smooth water but still captured some nice color
View attachment 21598

A couple more long exposure waterfall photos: Upper Screw Auger Falls in Grafton, Maine and the Lower Huntington Cascade in Dixville, New Hampshire

A common loon on First Connecticut Lake in Pittsburg, New Hampshire. This is a very cropped shot that I was able to get with the loon fairly far out on the water. I was not expecting loons (it is a busy picnic area and a very large lake) but initially this bird surfaced 20 feet in from of me as I just got there. I wasn't ready with my R7 and RF100-400 lens so I had to settle for a longer range photo once it dove and resurfaced

I captured this black-capped chickadee in our backyard, finally past the esthetically difficult molting period where every day is a bad hair day
View attachment 21603

Finally a blue jay portrait taken using the R7 and RF800 mm lens at an effective 1280 mm. I'm still amazed how well this combination works
View attachment 21604

Fantastic colors and sharpness! I have an EF 24-105L and hope I can get shots as beautiful as these with it on my R7 next fall. I’m also impressed with your birds with the RF 800 f/11. I wondered if this lens could get sharp shots, and you have certainly proven that It can.

Hi Joe,

What a fantastic way to wrap-up the November thread - well seen and very well caught (the B&W treatment works really nicely too).

Thank you for sharing!
