Move down here to FL. We have two seasons. Summer, and almost summer. We are all thrilled that the high finally went below 90 this week for the first time since around March/April.

Very nice, all! Let's see some more!

You are really rocking that new Olympus, Pea-N-Me! Every shot is better than the last

Would some fall color do it for you?

Here's one just for color

Thank you! And right back at you with your new Nikon! Yes, Fall is just about my favorite season.

Color seems to be one of Olympus' strong suits, and I like to use the Vivid setting. But I also noticed, and mentioned on another thread somewhere, that using a prime lens seems to bring out even more color. Thoughts on this are welcome.

Fall flower. I am a sucker for the red/yellow/orange mix.

Very nice! Are you shooting in RAW or JPEG? I need to learn to shoot in RAW and how to process ( baby steps for me ). Is that the 25mm lens your using?

Thanks! All of these were shot this summer before I began testing the waters with RAW, so they're JPEG. For the duck photo, I think I used the 14-42, the others were with the 25mm.

Love that shot, fireplug - great color! (And so makes me wish I was there... )

I have a similar one in my signature (first on left), only it was taken from the perspective of being on the ship just after we'd arrived at CC.
