One of my favorite places to visit during the autumn is Weston Bend State Park, which overlooks the Missouri River. Once the leaves start falling, the river becomes more visible from the bluffs. These pictures reflect a slight change in the season. As a photographer, I am slowly learning how to use my camera, and these pictures begin to show my using the manual settings on my dSLR. It has taken me eight years to figure out some of the manual settings. Technology often has me stumped.
