Freedom Park Path
I was up early on Saturday, with a few other intrepid souls, for another photo walk. We were standing on a bridge again, but this time I wore my heavy coat so I wasn't freezing!
We didn't stay on the bridge too long either. As soon as the sun was coming up, we took a walk around the neighborhood to see what was happening with the fall leaves.
It wasn't as spectacular as some years but it was beautiful.
There are a few trees by Freedom Parkway that are especially gorgeous with their deep red foliage.
I had fun with this one.
I set my ISO around 640 and underexposed it a bit. Then when I brought up the shadows, it had a nice painterly feel.
I did some dodging and burning on the leaves in Lightroom to bring out the areas where the sunrise was hitting the leaves. I can't get over how red those leaves are!
I also played with some intentional camera movement:
I set the shutter on 1/13th and with my left hand, I moved the zoom lens while with my right hand, I moved the camera in the opposite direction. It gave it a nice swirling effect.
It's hard to describe and it was also hard to do, but I liked the effect!
Our meetup took a pretty short loop but it took us a while. If you ever want to spend a lot of time covering very little distance, walk with a bunch of photographers! We take our time shooting everything we see.
It was a fun morning and I got a few keepers. I put the path shot that I used as the cover photo on the website yesterday. You can find it here.
See you between the raindrops!
xoxo,
Susan
