Dark, dreary, and fun.

A winding path through a forest with autumn trees and yellow-orange leaves. The setting is serene and natural, with a slightly overcast sky.

Mallard duck floating on a rippling pond, showing brown feathers with hints of blue. The scene feels calm and serene.

A mallard duck with brown and patterned feathers swims in calm, rippling water, surrounded by subtle reflections and a few thin plant stems.

A very dark and dreary day in my part of the world so probably not the best time to try out manual settings on the camera! Luckily it was nice and invigorating to be out in the wind, and the autumnal colours were really showing before the last leaves hit the floor.

The mallard ducks were being very sensible and staying out of the way of the worst of the wind and the rain. Although my camera settings struggled with the limited light I do like the colours on these two guys.
