Art of Lighting

This fall, 2009, was more of fun than photography… but still managed to get some get some pictures that are worth sharing. Here are some…

It took some time to find this perfect color changed maple leaf. Placed it against the paved road and clicked. Nice contrast and uniformly lit sky worked for this.

For the next one, I took the leaf and placed it against the dry leaf stems. Did some “photoshoping” to unsaturate the background. The result is this:

Next one is related to the topic but not specific to the season. The water droplets fallen from the tree above our parked car had formed a beautiful pattern. Again, an overcast sky made it easier on the sensor and very less photoshoping yielded this:

It was 6 in the morning and I headed east for 19th Annual Hot air affair Feb 2nd. The school ground was packed with pick-up trucks and balloon laid flat.

Slowly one by one got filled with lighter than air stuff and they began to fill the sky with colorful resins. Here are some pictures!
