I came across these trees near my house in Briarcliff Manor. Something about their arrangement and the way they were all leaning slightly in the same direction caught my attention.
Taken with a Sony A6000 and 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 OSS.

What a difference a few seconds and a change of light can make
I was walking around in some nearby woodland. The weather was not good: very gloomy and overcast with rain showers from time to time. I spotted a group of trees that looked interesting and walked over to take a look. Mildly interesting, but very flat light. I took a picture of it (the one above) anyway, turned around and started to walk away. Then….the light suddenly and briefly changed. A gap opened up in the clouds and some light started to stream in. Of course I turned around, went back and took an other picture (the one immediately below). A few seconds later the gap in the clouds closed and the nicer light had disappeared.
I generally shoot in RAW and the two images above are unprocessed apart from a minimal crop to make the point of view more or less the same. The image below is the final version after I edited it.

Around the Neighborhood – Still more fall colors
I think these will be the last pictures of fall colors for this year. Most of the leaves have now fallen from the trees. However, if I come across something really spectacular I can’t promise I won’t take a picture of it.

Around the Neighborhood – More fall colors
In the picture above I didn’t notice the birds until after I’d taken the picture. I wonder what they could be. The look a bit like parrots, but surely that can’t be. Maybe some kind of hawk?
