Autumn in the Park

Hello everyone, I  recently discovered a new hobby that made me appreciate nature, wildlife and scenery more. As such, I want to capture every magnificent beauty of nature has to offer and I would like to share them with you. 

I started to take photos mid-autumn season, and the leaves are already yellow, red and orange. The leaves started to fall and the branches are almost barren and black. But that's not a bad thing as others say, actually Autumn is one of the great season to get subjects from. So here I am excited about my first shoot using my Canon EOS Rebel T5 with a 18-55 mm/f/3.5-5.6 III lens. I want to try out different combination of aperture and focal length to see what's best suited for different light and subjects. Surprisingly, Canon T5 take great pictures like I am a pro!

Just to remind you though, I am an amateur at this and the terms I might use in here are very limited in terms of photography. This blog is for entertainment purposes only and maybe give inspirations to some. I hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures and feel free to comment. 

I took this photo around mid-afternoon, I like it where the sun casts a shadow on the trees.


Photo Info:   ISO speed of 200 with F-stop f/5.6. shutter speed of 1/128 sec. at 33 mm focal length.



In here, I used Corel PaintShop Pro x8 to enhance the color and add variations of black and white on the foreground. I like to do a little bit of  manipulation.


Photo Info:  Focal length at 55mm with f/stop of f/5.6



In here, I turned the background into black and white and leave the foreground as is.  I like the way the branches hang over the river and the reflections of the trees.
