First Day of Fall 2011

I've been real busy that last two months and have been remiss in adding new pictures to this blog. Today was the first full day of fall and here are a few pictures highlighting the changing seasons. All photos were taken with the Leica D-Lux 4 and processed using Adobe Lightroom.

Close up of a bronze statue processed using Silver Efex Pro. Note that selective areas of the statue have had part of the bronze color brought out using the add a point function and then selecting selective colorization.

 Looking through the gates into this beautiful estate flanked by trees starting to change into their fall colors.

 Colorful leaf lying on the pavement.

 Interesting colors highlighted by defuse lighting through the trees.

Natural sunlight highlights the interesting shape and colors of this fallen leaf.
