I’m not usually into nature photography—I like taking pictures of people best—but twice a year, I’m happy to grab my prime micro lens and say “hi” to mother nature—in the spring for the Ottawa Tulips Festival and in the fall to take pictures of the stunning fall foliage colours.
We are lucky to live in Eastern Canada because this dazzling display of fall is a fairly regional phenomenon. There is a scientific explanation for this natural process: as it gets colder, trees stop synthesizing chlorophyll in their leaves and nutrients from the old leaves are stored for the winter in the tree’s trunks, stems and roots. Meanwhile, the leaves reveal their brilliant underlying colours, from a deep yellow to a bright red.
Well, you should do nature photography more often because those pictures are gorgeous!
😉 Thank you!
Beauty shots of the leaves! Makes me sad to think they’re gone oh so soon…
Yep, all blown away by Sandy now!
Indeed, really nice photos! I love fall in Canada. It’s warm and colourful.
We are so lucky! I hated fall in France, so grey and damp.
Hi Zhu,
Very lovely colors!! I think that you were inspired, as many of us who photograph nature.
It is good to learn and try other photography types. I really enjoy nature photograph. For me, a challenge is to photograph people in the city!
Have a nice day.

I started with travel photography, with a focus on people, so that’s more natural than nature photography to me.
