I love fall!

Colors of creation.

I was on a nature walk enjoying all the beautiful colors of fall when i happened on this beauty. It isn't a perfect specimen but I like it that way as it is true to life.  

In post processing I did some basic croping and color adjustment in Lightroom.  I wanted the colors to really pop and show the glory of this beautiful piece of creaton, as it spends the last few days of its existence shining brightly. 

Black Beauties

Grabbed a shot of these black beauties at a Halloween parade.  Shot with my Nikon with a Nikon lens.  

Post edited for color correction in Adobe Lightroom.

Hello there!

Someone's happy to see me.  Meeting my friends new dog.

I framed the shot to try and make good use out of the empty space.  Having the subject to one side verses centering the subject creates a more interestimg shot. 

I also used a low appeture to created a blurred background and to draw emphasis to this happy little girls smile.

In post processing I did some minor cropping and basic color adjustments in Lightroom.  

Fall Path

A fall path.

Took this shot while at Hobo Dinner in North West Ohio.  I loved how the path winds around the trees and disappears into the woods. 

Post processing  to straighten and crop the photo and basic color correction in Adobe Lightroom 5.
