Yesterday afternoon, I took a walk up the “wild” section of Brimstone Corner to work on the 2016 edition of my Autumnal Abstract series.<\/p>\n
This is my\u00a0third year of making Autumnal Abstracts; here are the 2014 <\/a>and 2015 <\/a>versions.<\/p>\n All of these photo are made using a slow shutter speed* and deliberate movement of the camera. A moderate telephoto lens (a zoom set to 80 mm this year) was used. The maxim “less is more” seems to hold here. Thus, the narrow field of view of a telephoto seems to work better than a wider lens.<\/p>\n The resulting exposures are unpredictable and irreproducible; this is what makes it fun!<\/p>\n Processing in the computer is limited to the usual adjustments (black and white point setting, contrast adjustment and cropping). The “abstractness” comes from the camera not the computer.<\/p>\n This year I seem to favor the very abstract with swaths of bold color.<\/p>\n [scrollGallery id=478 – autoscroll = false width = 600 height = 600\u00a0useCaptions = true]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, there were a few less abstract frames that caught my eye as well.<\/p>\n [scrollGallery id=479 – autoscroll = false width = 600 height = 600\u00a0useCaptions = true]<\/p>\n * Typically the shutter speed is in the range of one to four seconds.
