Leaves in Fall

Have the bored problem and you are outside? That's exactly what happened with me and lucky enough, it was fall time. All the trees around happened to change colors too. So enjoy these few fall pictures. :)

Now this picture happens to be one of those pictures that aren't in focus. It's artistically pretty cool because you are so use to seeing clear pictures. When you see a blurred or unfocused one, you automatically delete it. Some of them can be nice, especially if a part of it was in focus. Note that all of the leaves in this post are from a Red Maple Tree. 

Since this is in focus, you can see all the small details in the leaves. There are three different leaves of  all different shades of green, red, and orange. The special thing is the background. Its completely white, not sign of the sky. Now that's how blinding the sun was!

This one is pretty cool because a little more than half of the leaf is not in focus. Now what happened here was that the leaf got too close for the lens to focus. So, it could only focus the right part of the picture, which is what gives the picture nice depth perception. 

I'm quite content with these next pictures. The detail and precision in them really triggered me. I tried to get the sun to shine through the leaf so that the leaf would glow. It kind of worked for this picture. You can see there is a source of light coming from behind the leaf as well. (Since I was holding the leaf with my hand,  I was able to control its position.)

This would make a great wallpaper. The lead takes up pretty much the whole page. It's detail is so clear. Also notice how the leaf isn't centered. When the subject isn't centered in the middle of the picture, it is called " the two thirds rule". So what exactly is this? Imagine a line splitting a photograph into thirds, horizontally and vertically. When you take pictures, you just need to place your subject in any third that's not the middle. Photogrpahers use this mainly to give an appealing look. You don't have to use this, if you are going for a different look, which is completely fine. 

Now this is just the full view of the same leaf. Notice the amount of detail in this too. The sky seems so blue and vibrant compared all of the other pictures.
