On a recent fall morning, my husband and I took an early morning drive out to August A Busch Memorial Conservation area. We are fortunate to live only a few miles from this great recreation area. This area is a great place for hiking, biking, fishing and hunting. It has 32 lakes and miles of trails. It is also a great place for a photographer. On this particular morning we arrived just after sunrise and I was delighted to see a heavy misty fog floating just above the water. The wind was calm so the waters were still and it was great for reflections of the fall colors.
In the photo above I used the lone tree for a focal point with just the tips of the trees basked in the early morning sun.
Creative Processing
When I got back home I loaded my photos into the computer and tried some creative presets on the photos using my Lightroom program. I like the way the lone tree looked in this black and white preset.

You know so much about photography, Mary Beth, capturing certain aspects of a scene and making an item a focal point. Your explanations really help in viewing your photos. Lovely scenes at the Busch Memorial Conservation area, especially this time of year with the leaves turning.
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic shots! The black and white photo really accentuates the morning ground fog which is totally awesome. What a neat photography tip! I really do need to consider looking at my photos in black & white to see what pops out. Really cool!
ReplyDeleteMary Beth, just love your photos - really calming pictures to look at too (considering all that's going on here I honestly feel a sense of calm looking at the boat photo with the steam just lifting off the lake like that)
