The Colors of Autumn
The Colors of Autumn, Yes, this is my favorite season. Warm, comforting colors surround us in nature. I have been so busy getting outdoors as much as possible. The weather is so nice right now, cool mornings give me more energy to enjoy walks in the park. So yesterday we went out for a stroll to see some fall colors and they did not disappoint.
In the fall, because of changes in the length of daylight and changes in temperature, the leaves stop their food-making process. The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible and give the leaves part of their fall splendor.
Autumn leaves turn fiery-red in an attempt to store up as much goodness as possible from leaves and soil before a tree settles down for the winter.
It is a nice bright sunny day when I took this photo below of the yellow flowers. One thing I like to do with flower photography is create a dark background to bring out the colors of the flowers.
A simple way to do this with your camera is to use a fast shutter speed. This photo is shot at 1/2000 of a sec. Which is the speed I use to photograph birds flying also. It is a fun little trick to try, it gives the photo a nice look like a portrait I think.
Give time to love, Give time to speak and Always give time to laugh!
