October 13: San Diego Autumn

San Diego, CA

Our seasons here are quite subtle, however we celebrate (read: commercially capitalize on) Halloween along with the rest of the world. A pumpkin vendor has taken over about 25 per cent of my supermarket parking lot with an extensive display. I liked the shadows early this morning, and it gave me a good excuse to use my new lens.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/400s f/9.0 at 80.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

there has been a lot of pumpkins and fall leaves recently...another good one. not long before these would be sacrificed? :)

Pumpkins make great subjects. By the way, have you chosen a costume for halloween yet, Robin?

Brian McAllister		14-Oct-2005 05:39
Beautifully sharp and lovely natural colors. I'd be keeping that lens Robin.

Karen Leaf		14-Oct-2005 03:37
Heh, I thought I saw some bunny ears on the back one :) Sharp shadows. How many did you bring home??

Guest		14-Oct-2005 02:58
I like the shadows too. Now I gotta check out the info on that lens.

Cindy Flood		14-Oct-2005 02:15
Your new lens is working out quite well for you. It has nice color and contrast.

CJ Burianek		14-Oct-2005 02:13
Great shot. That new lens is definitely a winner! Does have some very nice shadows!

Wonderful harvest color.

I love this time of year. I have a witch tied up in chains on my porch (well she's plastic and the chains wooden but when else can you do that?)

shatterbug		13-Oct-2005 23:42
Great shot! That lens is working out just fine.

Lee Rudd		13-Oct-2005 21:15
not so many pumpkins here... the shadows look like the devil is at work!

Pepe Zyman		13-Oct-2005 21:11
Very sharp image!

Guest		13-Oct-2005 19:52
I just had a pumpkin latte LOL!!!

Stu		13-Oct-2005 19:34
Big n plump... not like the miserable small ones we get here!

laine82		13-Oct-2005 19:25
I like the repeat pattern of stem shadows. That lens is doing it's job, these are nice & sharp.

Sharon Rogers		13-Oct-2005 19:16
ooooo I love that shadow. (lol @ Dan's comment!)

Manfred Bachmann		13-Oct-2005 19:12
Very nice shot, but where are the eyes?:)

markvm		13-Oct-2005 19:04
I really like where the shadow is, right where the reflection from the sun is. Very nice, Robin!

Al Chesworth		13-Oct-2005 18:29
Nice crisp images, you must be pleased with it.

Dan Chusid		13-Oct-2005 18:29
We'll be expecting to see one carved in the shape of a camera. ;^)

Gayle P. Clement		13-Oct-2005 17:36
Beautiful sharp shadows.

Fortunately, in the UK, it is not celebrated quite as much. But the shops are trying hard at catch-up...

Guest		13-Oct-2005 16:48
Beautiful, sharp shots, Robin. Lens envy...

Herb		13-Oct-2005 16:47
Nice shot, boy that lens is sharp

Focus		13-Oct-2005 16:47
Nice shots.......both of them!
