October images by Jan Wallin

October offered a number of occasions to pick up the camera. At the beginning of the month there were beautiful autumn colors in the nature around where I live and later in the month I made a couple of trips to some beautiful locations.

A short trip to Ireland and County Kerry in the beginning of the month gave the opportunity for a short sightseeing in the area of Killarney National Park and since I had the camera with me I did take som photographs. I also had a tripod with me on the trip but I did not bring it with me because the others in the travel company would have ben forced to wait for me every minute then and there was no time for that. So the shots are handheld or the camera is placed on a rock.

The area was fantastic and I will really try to get there soon again for a real photo trip.

The week after the trip to Ireland it was time for this autumn photo trip. This year to Venice Italy for a change of perspective and something other than landscape photography. The only miscalculation was that it was just me who realized it was off season .. there were an incredible amount of people, especially during the weekend, but I still managed to get som shots I am happy with but I would have hoped for som more morning mist even rain.

When I left, all of Venice was embedded in fog and the aircraft could not land at the airport. Then it was sad to be stuck at the airport with such conditions outdoors.

Retrospective & planning by Jan Wallin

There hasn’t been much camera time this year so when I was going trough some (very) old images I can see that I have always liked dramatic skies, this one is 10 years old from Nice, taken with my D90 from the back of the hotel we stayed at.

Planning ahead I am thinking of a photo trip to Venice, in mid October, when its low season and a chance of morning fog, I really would like that.

I’ve been to Venice a couple of times, passing trough in the winter, and it has always rained. Though it would be a break from Iceland, Faroe and Lofoten and actually get the chance to eat a decent meal I haven’t made myself outdoors.
