Photography ~ Connecting With Fall

Photography ~ Connecting With Fall Photography ~ Connecting With Fall If you think about it, it’s strange which photographic subjects attract us. I love shooting isolated unique landscapes as much as I love shooting many of the iconic legends that have been shot to death. What draws us to shoot something that we and everyone else...

Great shots, you are lucky you live in a colourful country, back here it more looks like this most times.

As “dreary” as that image looks, it’s still a pretty cool shot. I’m sure you have many beautiful areas to photograph as well, just different.

Kent – they are just beautiful. The saturated colors in that leaf photo are amazing. Do you travel up north for fall shots, or are there any places with foliage like that in your area?

I am so happy that I discovered your site… clicking through from my3boybarians.

I bookmarked you site and look forward to participating in your photo challenge sometime soon. I also teach photography classes… but for beginners.

If you have a moment to check out my blog and let me know what you think I am woefully lacking in constructive criticism these days :)

Kent, I’ve just recently discovered your website and wonderful photos and videos. I’ve just spent well over an hour clicking through your posts, watching your videos, and enjoying your site. For those of us who are amateur enthusiasts, this site is a treasure trove of great tips and information, as well as inspiration.

Karen, Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad to have you browsing the site. Enjoy!

I just found your blog and I think it’s wonderful. I agree; nature had a mighty pull, especially this time of year (for me anyway). I prefer shooting more uncommon or forgettable things, but when it comes to my children or nature, there’s a really big exception. The fall colors in all their vividness seem to stand there daring you to only get one shot. I end up getting so many it makes my head spin. And then I’m like, what am I gonna do with all of those pictures?? lol

Anyway, great blog. I’ll be back.

This year you’ll take photos of leaves.

Next year you’ll make photographs composed by starting from the shapes the leaves form.

The year after that your philosophy will perhaps have changed yet again.

And every year you’ll wonder how it is you have to walk so far just to get the *one* leaf with the perfect background separation / orientation for your photographic start-point… At least, I had this thought with thistle-heads and acorns this year too. How come there are so many acorns on trees, yet only a tiny fraction within reach, and none at all on this tree suit my composition?

The colors are just awesome! Almost makes me want to move out of Florida. (notice I said almost)

Hi Kent!
I came to your blog via Twitter and I am so glad to have stopped by. Your photos are just beautiful and full of life! I have bookmarked you and will be back again and again. Thanks for the great start to my day.

I do something that’s opposite of the crowd: I pay attention to the everyday, common things that most people don’t notice or think are pretty. Then I look at them from a different angle.

You’ve covered all points to take better photos! To do all this, first of all we need to learn how to look and see the beauty and coolness around us.

You always have such great tips and tricks! Thank you!

Hi

This is a great article and an inspiration to try new things. With this shot, I used a 10mm lens, 3 shot HDR at night from a low angle to capture the symmetry of these wonderful arches in the Barberini Museum in Rome.

Cheers, Erik

One Last Splash

One Last Splash Headed out this morning before going to the airport for one last splash of fall color. Believe it or not we found the most unbelievable autumn leaves in a city cemetery. Respectfully, we captured the last blasts of color, stopped at Blake’s (a local diner joint) for breakfast, and headed for the...
