Fall landscape at Brookside Gardens (lots of photos!)

I'm taking a two-day landscape photography class at Brookside Gardens with Joshua Taylor, Jr., who is not only a great photographer, but has a really fun personality and is very inspiring as well. In our first session last weekend, we learned some basics in the classroom, then went outside to shoot our own photos with the instructor moving us along here and there, answering questions, and showing us how he was setting up his own photos. Among the many tips I learned, the most instantly helpful to me was setting the white balance on my camera to "cloudy". Here are some of my shots from the weekend. There are LOTS of photos below so if you have a slow connection, you may want to abort now!
