zackiedawg Posted October 7, 2010 #402 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I've been doing more 'swamp' work the past month, both just before and after my Disney vacation...mostly playing around with my 300mm F4 lens which really is a lovely sharp beast. I love birding and wildlife...and we've got plenty of it down here...so here are some of my recent wetlands shots with my A550 & Minolta 300mm F4: Hey...this is the natural world...circle of life and all...if a little food-chain action would be a bit too graphic, send the kids out of the room. OK...kids gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackiedawg Posted October 8, 2010 #408 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thank you all very kindly...coming from some of you with the shots I've seen posted in here, it's a high compliment. Very inspirational thread for photographers and aspiring photographers alike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnbruce Posted October 8, 2010 #409 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks, Bruce. My son had mentioned that there had been some windy days and some of the leaves had dropped. But considering that this is what our fall leaves look like here any color is good. You probably won't see this post until you return from Mpls., but I thought I'd post this just in case. You most likely will see some nice colors and with the temps around 80 degrees it should be a perfect time to be here. If your son actually lives in Minneapolis there is a area called Minnehaha Parkway and Falls. I was driving through there tonight and stopped for a few photos. It's a really pretty drive and walk right now and with the nice weather it might be a good place to check out the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted October 8, 2010 Author #412 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Nicely done Justin! I'd love to do more birding, but somehow I don't think that photos of little brown sparrows, crows and seagulls will inspire very many people! I envy you location (but not your humidity!)

DH and I are on our own during the week and will do stuff with our son on the weekends. Minnehaha Falls Park is one of the places we plan on going - next Friday. Take the light rail to MOA and then stop at the park on the wya back downtown. Thanks for the pics. Nice one of the waterfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky-elpaso Posted October 16, 2010 #421 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Minneapolis is a beautiful city - and while some of the trees have lost their leaves we still found some good color. There are Canadian Geese everywhere: Minneapolis has more bridges over the Mississippi than any other city: And the falls at Minnehaha Park are gorgeous: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
