this weekend I wanted to shot some fall pictures. So I got out of the house and jumped into the truck. To make it even more exciting I only took one lens with me. A tokina 19 - 35 mm. To concentrate more on framing the pictures and working with an wide angle of view.

Soon I found the first target, a couple of innocent ducks sitting around and doing nothing...
...1 hour later I finally could close up to them with camera, flash, tripod and could start taking pictures. I was 3 feet ( 1m ) away from them.
I love the look of white angles, but my telephoto would save me lot of time and some cropping of the pictures.

After I finished the ducks I drove around Davis and found a nice tree, a classic tractor and some fields and haystacks.

Finally I kept 5 pictures out of 100. You can find them here or just click on the big picture
