Fall is Here! *Belvedere Plantation*

Fall is my favorite season. Period.  Football, boots, crisp air, candles, cozy sweaters, changing leaves.  You name it, if it is fall-related, I want it and I want it right now.  And an on-going fall tradition for the Driskell family is visiting Belvedere Plantation.  So we went a little early this year and the weather was still warm, but it was a blast and we're all still obsessed.

Per usual, I brought my camera but because we went in the middle of the day and there was not a cloud in sight, it made taking pictures a bit tricky.  Hello heavy contrast and overexposure.  But I managed to pull off a few keepers so here they are...

 Does anyone else find it strange that corn looks like this??

 Finally some better light, so handsome ;)

 Gimme that chevron pumpkin!

Had to sneak this pretty girl in here, she's getting big!

Moonlight Ride

A few weeks ago, the roomies and I went out on Monument and did some experimenting while photographing Richmond's Moonlight Ride.  It's essentially a night bike ride where the riders dress up their bikes with lights and it made for a great excuse to do some different things with our cameras.  So we set out with tripods and beer and began shooting!  It was really great to try out using slow shutter speeds and night shooting!

Of course, Beth required diet coke :)

I realize these are blurry but hey, they look cool and I think it's interesting to see the progress as I get more practice!

The girls!

These last two were using our cell phones for light :)
