09 - Assignment - Fall

inTempus · Oct 1, 2009

Let's see some Fall pictures. Anything that shows the season change is ideal.

I'll start off with a picture from last night.

The Fall chill is in the air. The trees haven't turned yet in our area, but the winds are picking up out of Canada and the temperature is falling (50 degrees last night when this was taken).

In the shot you can kind of get a feeling of the windy chill in the air.

Let see what you guys/gals can come up with!

Taken a couple of days ago. I set a piece of corrugated white board right on top of a lamp. Laid the leaves on the board and took the pic. The light might be a bit bright, but I like the colors of the leaves.

No photo to add

But I can say inTempus, I love the shot. The bird really portrays a chilly scene, almost looking annoyed by the coming season.

Hammster: I like the light coming through the leaves. You should of added more leaves and had them take up the whole frame. I don't know. Just try different things. Never stop at a few shots ya know..

Future, thanks for the comment. Good idea about adding more leaves. My intent was to have some of the whiteboard show through. However, I do like the idea of more leaves too.

Notice the leaves starting to turn in the background :lol:

I'm very new to photography (just got a Canon EOS500D on Wednesday), but I thought this one looked pretty good. You can see the cattails starting to go brown and some out of focus tree fall color in the background. Let me know what you think, feel free to be brutally truthful (but constructive).

Sorry I'm posting another one, but I just figured I had to put this one up to give a taste of Fall in Minnesota, I just took it this morning.

This is the 7th coldest day on record this early in October for Minnesota.

Chestnut Ridge Park in western NY.

Another from the same park. Lots of color from the fallen leaves.

Okay.

Gorgeous shot decado. Unless things have changed while my back was turned, posting in other threads, there isn't a limit to the number of images you might choose to post in a themed thread such as this. By all means, keep posting. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!

Well, another day of more snow, sometimes I hate Minnesota.

It's so weird seeing all that green under all that snow. I just wish all that crap wasn't in the background, I couldn't get out to get better shots due to a terrible cold.

johngpt · Oct 12, 2009

Brrr. Is there a winter thread that these could go in?

It's shots like this that help me appreciate where I am!

Well the reason I put these in the fall thread is because of the irony, they really are fall pictures, lol. It's just been such a cold and snowy fall so far here, which is pretty abnormal. I'm starting to wonder if global warming was just a temporary natural thing and now we're going into global cooling. We had one of the coldest summers on record this year too.
