4 November 2008 Fall Colors
We have been blessed by truly beautiful fall weather here in Minneapolis. Today Genbo and I were wearing short-sleeved shirts for a while.
Fall has always been my favorite season; well, ever since I went back east to school when I was 14. It’s not necessarily the colors of the leaves, although as you will see below I love those too. No, it’s a clarity to the sky, which is a paler blue, the light, which is crisper, and the air, which is cooler. Or maybe it’s the light that is cooler and the air that is crisper.
All photos taken with my favorite lens, the Zeiss 100/2. It works fine with my new camera, the D90, except for the fact that it isn’t chipped, so I can’t use the camera’s light meter. That’s not too hard to work around, but it also means that no EXIF information is recorded into the files, so I have no idea what aperture any of these were shot at. This is kind of a photographic bummer, but not such a big deal since I am philosophically opposed to opening up the thing wider than f/4 anyway.

Glorious. Simply glorious. The autumn hues are nowhere near as brilliant in Australia.
