Fall has come to spend a few weeks with us and I for one am glad. So many emotions can be expressed with the camera by the changing seasons, but my favorite will always be Fall. On a trip to New York I took in December, I experienced overcast skies and cold flat lighting. Normally great for shooting portraits, but not so wonderful for capturing dramatic architecture. (no light and shadow or lovely shades of gray)
Using the weather as a friend rather than a foe, I decided to embrace the monochrome light and throw a little curve ball at it. I used the tall trees in the first image to create visual chaos with a little room to breathe. This above image was meant to just be a lonely tree, on a cold and lonely day, near a lonely pond.
In the evening I went window shopping and found more monochromatic images. This time in the shop windows. What a theme I happened to have stumbled upon. Each image in their own way has become dreamy and a little ethereal. Which one is your favorite?
