As part of my journey of exploration in photography, I have learned to use a variety of techniques to create images that express something beyond the mere visual representation of what is in front of our eyes; my preference is to do as much of this in-camera rather than create something in post-processing. There are post-processing possibilities that go beyond what can be done with just our cameras, even though they are getting smarter; examples, such as HDR, Focus Stacking and combining multiple images are among these.
Today’s example is one where all of the work was in-camera, other than some image clean-up, and the result was visible on the LCD screen on the back of my camera…
This image was created by using a somewhat slow shutter speed at 1/8 second and intentionally going out of focus a bit to create a soft amalgamation of autumnal colors. My intent was to capture some of the serenity that we might experience during a comfortable autumn day, as we enjoy a gentle breeze, comfortable temperatures and the beauty of the landscape that surrounds us.
Hope you enjoy these moments too!
