Picture of the Week - November 5, 2008

Tree in Pasture

I've driven past this tree a thousand times in all kinds seasons and conditions. I'd finally decided this was the year to try and capture it in its fall beauty. I just happen to be driving past it around 3:30p and noticed the shadows hiding the background so I came back the next day and captured this image. I was lucky, 2 days later it rained and the leaves were mostly gone!

Fall Leaves

A cold, but still fall day lead me outside on an early Saturday morning. This shot was taken in the woods next to my house and is from down low looking up towards the sky. The early morning light was illuminating the remain leaves on the trees quite nicely and I liked how they were "highlighted" against the blue sky and barren tree limbs above.

Picture of the Week - new feature

Some photographers have a "Picture of the Day" (PAD) project where they try and create a photo each day. Needless to say, with my current schedule, that wouldn't be feasible, but I'm striving to post a "POW" or "Picture of the Week". Surely, I can come up with one photograph each week that I'm willing to share with others.

Also, I hope that striving for a "postable" picture each week will help keep my creative juices flow. I'm in such of a habit of seeing something and saying to myself, "someday...". Well, there is no better time than now.

I hope you enjoy some of these photos. I'll be "back-posting" some photos from throughout 2008 so please check back often!
