From the Editor’s Desk... Hot apple cider, pumpkin spice, and eye popping colors saturating our hillsides, friends we know what all of these things mean! It’s Fall in the Finger Lakes, and it’s a great time and place for a photographer to be! Many of us have already been out with our cameras, capturing beautiful scenes, while others are still waiting just a bit longer to get out there. Whatever your plan, I hope you find yourself bringing home some beautiful images before the... well, we all know what comes after the brilliance of Autumn. Just be sure to check out Nik’s tutorial on making the most of your CPL this season.

This issue also brings you ten tips for working with models, as we prep for our October Education night meeting, where I will have a model live in studio, for a shoot, as well as an A to Z primary from making the first contact, to editing your best images. We will also have a Q&A session with model Nico Noir and myself, in studio. There are a lot of good articles this month, with contributions from many of our members. So pour yourself a cup of hot cider, and enjoy the show!
