The fall season has continued full force down here in DC. In an effort to capture the radiant colors that we have been surrounded by as of recent, I tried taking photos at different times of the day. The first and third photos here were taken at night. The remainder of the photos were taken at different times during daylight hours in various lighting conditions in the neighborhoods surrounding Cleveland Park.
"An Impenetrable Wall"
"A Fallen Season" "A City Dweller's Fall"
"G.T. 350"
"Nature's Kaleidoscope"
"Leaf-Pocalypse"
"Warped Perceptions"
Note: The blurry photos were intended to be that way.
I like these a lot. Is there a way to view a larger version of Burning Nights? I like the intense color in that one. I assume you used some kind of filter?
ReplyDeleteThe wall is okay, just not much to it. The orange blur is a bit too blurry for my tastes.
I like the tuft of grass sticking up in fallen season. It makes the photo.
I like the way the yellow leaves dominate the frame in city dweller's fall. Also the power lines look like they are holding back the mass of yellow. This is probably my favorite the imbalance of the photo seems to be significant so it adds to the photo rather than taking away.
The reflection in GT350 is what kicks this one up a notch.
I think the last 3 are great too. The lack of color variety actually works in leaf pocalypse because the whole point is that the world is inundated in leaves. Kaleidoscope is great because of all the strange shapes formed by the spaces between the leaves and for whatever reason, the blur in warped perception doesn't bother me. I think it's because the blur smears the leaves a lot and suddenly the trunk is the star of the show. I think warped and kaleidoscope are complementary and neither would be as good without the other nearby.
