Untitled, a photo by PaulaRussell on Flickr.

I love the Arboretum at the University of Guelph. It is the first place I go when I get a new camera, or the leaves fall, or the fog rolls in. I particularly love Fall in the Arboretum, it has a different feel than early Spring, and I prefer the trees without their finery and the superficial hope that floats on warming weather. The trees are my absolute favs - strangely ordered and controlled, without the cement and boulevards of the city proper. Now that some action plans have been initiated to address September's stresses, it is time to get back to shooting. This photograph was part of an exercise I did with a few friends, 1 location - 1 hour - 100 images, and it was a profound learning experience. I think I'll repeat this experience with the 5D MKII.
