ECF: Autumn Color
Our two October snowfalls this year pretty much killed the fall color. That is unless you start looking closely at the right time of day. With the sun low on the horizon all day and even lower a few hours before sunset and I discovered our trees are glistening with bold color. The trick for the dull, almost brown leaves is for them to be backlit (see a non-backlit example of the leaves). So the past two days I’ve headed out after feeding the dogs their lunch in the mid-afternoon and exercised my shutter finger.
This week has been a bit draining so it was nice to take just a little time out from work. Since I do my own (and sometimes other designers) photography that time out really pays me back two fold - once in giving me practice taking photos and also in refreshing me by giving me a bit of a break out in nature without taking up so much time that I feel more rushed than before the break.
There were other blog posts in my head this week that I wanted to take the time to write, but it just didn’t happen. Hopefully I’ll have a few posted next week. I wanted to give a peek at last Saturday’s Colorwork Workshop and there are still some newer patterns that I haven’t talked about yet…
I just couldn’t hold back these photos though. Plus, they are much more worthy of ECF than the other posts I wrote only in my head this week. I hope you enjoyed them!
