Shortly after I moved to Philadelphia for a brief time in 2007, I went on many photographic excursions to help get acquainted with my new city. I spent a Saturday a few weeks ago doing the same thing for my most recent town. There is a strong contrast of the rural farmlands I'm surrounded by now than when I was in Philly but that doesn't mean there is less to photograph.

Overall, I'm really happy with how this set turned out and think I was able to experiment with some different editing styles yet still capture a sort of rural/farmland/Autumnal feel. As I Twittered earlier today, I also noticed how quickly I've switched exclusively to shooting RAW after really just starting to dabble in it earlier this year. I have not shot JPG since. I can't recommend it enough when you are doing heavy editing and processing to your photos. The flexibility is just perfect.

Here are a few of my favorite recent photos, and as always, there are more on Flickr.
