While I love summer weather, I have an appreciation for fall and what it offers - change, color, and a time to assess.
That said, last year, I took pictures like these:
While I really like them - especially the one with the orange leaves against the blue sky - I need to try something different this year. I need pictures that are more original and artistic.
Popular Photography's latest issue saves the day, as always. A few interesting ideas that I must try:
1) Abstracts - taking advantage of the wind or of camera movement to incorporate some strategic blurring. I'm very excited about this, because I love the element of the unexpected.
2) Reflections with a twist - longer exposures (but not too long, so I won't need a tripod) - to add an "eerie" effect to my work.
I don't like the colder weather, I admit, but being able to have new material is really appealing. To make sure I take full advantage, I'll have to do a dress rehearsal in the next week or so.
Next time - a twist on some of my California shots.
