River of Sky through Autumn Maple Leaves, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. October 9, 1998.<\/p><\/div>\n

My favorite photo for today is also one of my all time favorite fall color images.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was wandering Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on a fall color photography trip and I stopped at a roadside park just south of Germfask, Michigan for a picnic lunch. For some reason I looked straight up and I couldn’t believe my good photographic fortune. Straight overhead there was a “river of sky” making its way through gorgeous autumn maple leaves. I was blown away by the color.<\/p>\n

I grabbed my tripod and camera, set them up on the picnic table, and shot straight up. The Fuji Velvia slide film captured the colors beautifully.<\/p>\n

Dancer, Tahiti. October 9, 2004.<\/p><\/div>\n

My second place image for October 9 was captured in Tahiti. My wife, her sister, and my brother-in-law, and I were driving along for a morning of exploration and heard music. We stopped and found a “Christian Celebration in Music and Dance” going on, and it was open to the public. We found four seats in a good location and I started grabbing images of dancers of all ages. This particular dancer caught my eye and she made eye contact for quite a while. My sister-in-law said “I think she is flirting with you.” I agreed. I got several nice images of her as well as other dancers. This is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

Bull Elk Bugling, Banff National Park. October 9, 2012.<\/p><\/div>\n

October 9 is also during the time I was in Banff National Park. As you know from past posts on my trip to Banff, much of the time I was there it was cloudy and rainy. October 9 was no exception. Looking for something to photograph on a cloudy day, I came around a bend in the road and found this big boy. I put my telephoto lens out the car window, steadied it on the window ledge, and caught this image of him bugling.<\/p>\n

Bee on a Blanket Flower. Columbus, Ohio. October 9, 2015.<\/p><\/div>\n

My fourth place image for October 9 happened as a result of a phone call. A writer with the Akron Beacon Journal wanted to interview me for her newspaper. She was writing an article on how to do garden photography with a camera phone. So I went outside and started taking pictures in my garden with my iPhone. I snapped this photo and emailed it to her. It ended up being one of the headline photos for her article. More about that when I do my post for October 16.<\/p>\n
