Ah, aspens. Could the sky be any more blue to really highlight those gorgeous golden leaves?

Lovely, I could stare at this all day.

With a picture like that I’d sure hate to be your competition. Seriously, I just look at it and I feel calm. It’s gorgeous :)

Sorry I’m the nerd who’s gonna ask technical questions and not just admire your beautiful work (tho I did that too).
Do you always tripod your shots? Even when you’re taking them fast enough that you don’t “need” it? Did you use a filter for this shot? The colors are FANTASTIC. I’m still learning about filters. Just got my first one for my 18-200 VR but it’s just a plain ole UV filter – mostly for lens protection and less for “effect”.

Thanks all!
Lisa – yes, for outdoor shots (unless I’m backpacking and too lazy to pull out the tripod) I tripod about 95%. 1/200 can still get enough shake to ruin a pic. I would rather not risk blowing a money shot, especially since this was low to the ground and was hard to hold still by hand. It was on a steep slope too, so tripod was definitely helpful. I just use a plain UV to keep from smashing my lens :) I don’t like what polarizers do to the sky.
