One of the better things of fall is the reemergence of birds missed in the spring migration. Contrary to our seasonal assumptions the spring migration occurs in a budding though still stark landscape. This, alongside the breeding plumage of birds, makes it a favourite time of the year for birders. The fall migration is equally challenging of seasonal stereotypes, occurring when summer is still overgrown. Birds being seasonal pioneers, migrate before seasons do. Fall migration is the opposite of spring. Lush landscapes. Moulting birds. And for whatever headache it gives me in trying to identify whatever grey-ish brown bird I'm seeing for the 300th time, the season brings its own enjoyment. Neither better or worse than any other season. Just its own.
Taking photos in fully grown landscapes can be challenging. After a few attempts to battle my way through leaves and reeds I decided it was better to embrace them. Let nature have its way with my photos. Since my telephoto lens is an old canon FD mount with a manual focus (which I have connected to my digital Fuji) getting sharp images of uncooperative birds can be frustrating. But soft edges remind me of my film photos so I've learned, as you can see, to embrace this as well.
