Autumn shimmer

I shot these trees in Jackson , Wyoming because the backlighting was so handsome. I applied a bit of posterization and rough pastels to the original.

It really glows Pamela. You had a solid photo to begin with and the filters are the final piece.

Cool, crisp air. That's the feeling I get as I gaze at this image. Very pretty and I like that you've kept the sense of height by not cropping the trees. Wonderful fall colors, as well.

The applied effects work very well on this image, Pam. Lovely backlighting on the leaves.

Younes,
Technically, this was one of those happy accidents you never anticipate. I was killing time at a pitstop after shooting a sunrise of the Grand Tetons. I had my 75-300 IS lens on (not a very good one) and was firing off handheld snapshots at various settings. In other words I was playing around

This particular shot I was zoomed out to 235mm in aperture priority set to 29, ISO 400, which resulted in 1/30 shutter. Everything done wrong in theory but I liked the look of it on playback and decided not to erase.

Pam I love this image , it's almost as if this forest is on fire with colour. I love the contrast of the dark trunks. I would love to do a painting using this as a reference if you would not mine.Please feel free to say no! Cheers, Lorna

Painter before I picked up a camera, that's really the only part I know is the art side of it ,trying to learn the mountain sized technical side of it! Cheers
