This is a photo blog of self expression. All the images I post are self assignments driven by the need for more creativity in my life. This is my escape from the everyday shooting as a professional photographer.
This is another leaf on a dogwood in my yard using the same camera and lens as the last blog. The shallow depth of field helps isolate the leaf from the background. The nice glow is caused by the sun shinning through the leaf. LynnFreeny.com
I love ginkgo trees in the fall. They have a brilliant yellow color that you can see from far distances. Another characteristic of the ginkgo is its leaves fall all at the same time, leaving a beautiful carpet of yellow on the ground. In this image I was able to capture this carpet along with the shadow of the leafless ginkgo tree.
Patterns in nature come in many different shapes and colors. This group of leaves in the still waters of a mountain stream caught my eye. They were so different in size, color, and shape yet they belonged together. One thing that brings the composition together is the presence of the sky reflecting in the water. Also there are colors that balance well together revealing a wide spectrum of hues that go unnoticed by the causal viewer in autumn. LynnFreeny.com
