It was the height of the fall color in Pennsylvania, so I ventured out to the backyard, ttv contraption in hand. The cat, never one to be ignored jumped onto the birdbath in front of me, then scurried up a tree.

Captured through the viewfinder of an old Ansco Rediflex with a Nikon D70 back.

I've seen this one on flickr. And the ttv blog. Great to see it here as well. Really great one. The colors are so vibrant. And the blur is perfect.

thank you! ~wave~
Gigi, those red spots I think are highlights of the red tree in front. The plastic bubble top lens of this old Ansco Rediflex gets some strange distortions when colors or hightlights are near the edge--fun stuff!
