Of more recent shots, these two. They`ve been resized, but are still huge so I`ll link to them instead of actually putting them up here. (Maybe I`ll resize later and replace the links with the actual shots...)

Autumn
and...
The beach.

Make that 3 -
Dragonfly

That "Autumn" pic is absolutely amazing.

Thank you. And that`s literally straight from the camera - no real touchups other than resizing it. It`s not even an HDR shot.

I never really thought trees became that vibrant until I saw it for myself...

It was at Kongourinji (金剛輪寺). Not a huge famous place, but it`s well known enough for it`s "血染め紅葉" - which is why I took the time to drive over there. And it was well worth it. Last autumn was supposedly some of the best conditions for producing amazing color, and it really was true.

But it`s most certainly well off the foreign tourist path. The only way up there is literally to drive or take a tour bus.

Unless you`re there during autumn, it`s not exactly a lot to see. Just a temple up in the mountains.

Just out of curiosity, what equipment is everyone shooting these pics with?

Certainly nothing fancy in my case.
Earlier shots with this.
Later shots (Like the autumn one, the dragonfly, etc) with this. A much more robust camera than it looks to be...

I`ve thought about buying a nice DSLR, but if I can`t carry it around with me in my bag all the time I get the feeling I`d hardly ever use it. So I stick with little cameras.
