Initial research - Autumn

Autumn - is the season that marks the transition from summer to winter.

I looked at the three photos above and they are similar to the initial thoughts I have when I think of autumn. There is a lot of colour within them, mostly red which reminds me of autumn. The colours within these images is very striking which can make a photograph more effective, i especially like the first image due to the contrast of the one tree in the foreground that leaves have changed colour, with the other trees in the background that have not yet began the colour transition.

These photos are also similar to ideas that I have had, with the main focal point being on leaves within each photo, having depth of field also makes a photo more effective. There is not a lot of strong colour within these two photographs, yet you can see they are taken in autumn due to the colour change in the leaves.

I really like this photograph, the colours are really strong and the sky looks stormy, I really like the composition and how its offset to one side, which makes it more effective.

Below are some photographs that relate to my thoughts on Autumn.

I really like the strong colour of the leaves within this photograph which are red and orange, which contrasts with the water which looks very dirty and green. I really like the composition and the the branch comes across into the centre of the photograph.

In the photo above you can clearly see that its autumn due to all of the fallen leaves which are very orange. i really like the composition within this photograph too, and how the tree is offset to the right side with the fence starting in the bottom left of the photograph and going off into the distance.



This photo is not as easy to define as some of the others yet you can still tell its taken in Autumn due to the colour change and the amount of leaves and shells that have fallen off the tree onto the floor. I also really like how you can see a few tree stumps and not the full trees.

The two photographs above are more open landscapes and I really like them because the leaves and trees that have or are starting to change colour are framing the photos, which i really like as they are coming across into the photo, rather that being directly in the centre.

This photo is focusing on the one leaf in the foreground which has made the full colour change to red/orange, which contrasts with all of the leaves which are still attached to the trees which you can see in the background going off into the distance. I really like this photograph due to its composition and the colours within it and I feel you can clearly see Autumn within the photo.



The photo above is simple of some leaves, i really like the composition and the colour as well as how the few leaves in the foreground are in focus and the leaves in the background aren't, creating depth of field within the photo.



I really like how the tree comes across from the left side on the image and how the sun is shining through the leaves over the hill in the distance, I really like the composition and the colours.

Above is a layered photo, it looks like two different layers both being of leaves, the bottom layer looks like its been taken outside showing the colour change in some leaves and the top layer looks like some leaves have been placed over the top to create an interesting composition. I really like this photo because of that, its eye catching and different, yet still shows Autumn.
