Fall abstraction

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve always found it refreshing to step outside of my comfort zone and dabble in other areas of photography.  I think that this helps me keep the creative edge fine-tuned.  I decided to take a walk through my neighborhood of Old Louisville the other day when the leaves were in their full autumn color, with a nice, crisp breeze to rustle them about.  I took all of these images with a slower shutter speed between .5 to 1 second.  This is a break from the norm… which is trying to get the perfect focus and the perfect exposure… the technical paradigms that govern, yet also inhibit our creative vision.  It’s letting loose.  It’s painting, not with a paint brush, but with light and leaves.  It’s liberating.

I think it’s worthwhile for any photographer to do the following…..  1) grab your camera, 2) take a walk, 3) give yourself some parameters or limitations (e.g. slow shutter speed), 4) see what you create.
