elmofoto > getting lost | glen arbor, michigan

Sometimes I just drive until I get lost, then I get out and start snapping photos of anything interesting I find.

elmofoto > i go to these places so you don't have to | cedar, michigan

When I came out of this spot I had three spiders on me, but other than that it wasn't bad. I guess my mom was right: I did "end up in a ditch someday."

Thankfully not dead :)

elmofoto > there's nothing faux about this foliage | cedar, michigan

I finally managed to get some good foliage shots today. Since I don't live in a place that has particularly vibrant fall colors, I'm getting a bit of a lesson in processing naturally saturated colors (such as the deep oranges in the leaves of certain trees). Indeed, some of my shots looked like they were oversaturated from the get-go.

Anyway, I pulled up to this spot and I saw two hunters up the road, so I signaled to let them know I was there. I didn't want to shout because I thought that would scare off whatever they were trying to kill, but one of them shouted back "DON'T WORRY, WE SEE YOU!" I'm not big on hunting and there's a small part of me that might have made enough noise to scare off the unwitting prey, but I also didn't want to get a derrière full of lead at the hands of a vengeful hunter. Anyway, what I loved about shooting this grove of trees was the radial look fo the trunks when shot from a low angle. I also loved the vibrance of the colors and the fact that I was able to capture some clouds in the sky. I think this would have been a nice shot even with a cloudless sky, but I do like that it's a bit more interesting with the clouds.

elmofoto > las tunitas creek road | san mateo county

There are so many great woodsy spots in San Mateo County. This was taken on Tunitas Creek Road. It's a good thing there's not a lot of traffic on that road because it's narrow and has lots of twists and turns. It also lacks a lot of good turnouts and shoulder spots to park your car. Pretty much any picture-taking I do here involves parking the car and walking as far as I need to in order to find something interesting to capture. Luckily I never have to walk very far (God forbid I should combine my hobby with exercise).

After a lot of digging, according to Google, "tunitas" means "small prickly pear" in Spanish, even though I'm going with my own translation: little tuna fishes.
