Dear Everyone:

Shot these Easter lilies on

the same day as I shot the

hydrangea.

Signs of fall are arriving.

Advertisements for

fall clothes, the fall issue

of Vogue, and registering

for fall courses.

Hope you enjoy these shots.

Tried to not rely entirely for the

most part on single bloom shots.

Wanted a 3D effect again.

Helen.

Autumn Finale 2009

Autumn

Autumn , a thinker's season

subtle shifts of temperature and light

Fall colours to delight

Hanging on to ward of winter's might

Autumn ushers out summer

Watch leaves fall as trees stripped bare

brace for winter's blast and no

longer devil may care

A season for the intellect

Impressionism continued 2009

impressionismcont'd2009

What I like about the Freeman Patterson

motion technique is the impressionistic shots

it creates.

This image could pass as an impressionistic

or abstract painting.

Fighting not to pause the motion

to press the button on the camera

and take the shot is very challenging.

My subject was red and pink fall

leaves on a sidewalk. Hence

the beautiful colours in this shot.

Hope that you enjoy this image.

Have a get-started-on-Christmas

kind of day.

Helen.

I had a creative block early last week for a few days.

Didn't post to the blog as a result.

Then went out for the last 4 days in a row and got

close to a 100 shots I am happy with.

These 3 images are amongst the last of fall.

The leaves are almost all down here

so I am shooting while there are still

images to capture.

Hope that you enjoy these images.

Have a look-ahead-and cherish-behind

type of day.

Helen.

October shot 2009

Octobershots022009

This is a more traditional image again.

I find it an attractive shot.

For some reason my ability to see a shot

is higher and stronger than a couple of years ago.

Hope that you enjoy this image.

Have an enjoy-fall-while-it-is-here

kind of day.

Helen.

Fall Reflections

These shots capture fall at it's best.

Hope that you enjoy these images.

Have a capture-each-moment kind

of day.

Autumn Shot

autumnshot102009

Really like this shot. The shot

almost looks like a

painting on silk. The soft effect

and beautiful colour are striking.

Hope that you enjoy this image.

Have a not-ready-for-winter

kind of day.

Helen.

Golden Tree II

Went back twice to capture this yellow tree that looked

gold with sunlight illuminating the leaves.

Hope that you enjoy these images.

Have a one-more-day-of-R&R-kind

of day.

I was running yesterday and noticed

many leaves coming down. A true

sign of autumn. Some of the fallen leaves

were lovely so I decided to return to the

street with my camera and take shots of them.

I decided to call these shots leaf portraits.

I returned with my camera and started

shooting fallen leaves. This required

bending or crouching to get my close-ups.

I got many great shots.

A jogger interested in what I was doing

asked me if I was taking pictures of bugs

on the ground. I corrected her but found

this speculation to be quite funny.

How eccentric to be taking pictures

of bugs.

Hilarious.

Hope that you enjoy these images.

Have a look-out-for-the-small-

guy-kind of day.

Helen.

Autumn Leaves 2009

I went back to shoot a favourite tree from

last year. To some surprise I noticed

that it had already progressed into rich

fall colouration. I'm glad I didn't miss

this display of colour.

Hope that you enjoy these 2 images.

Have a pay-attention-to-little-

kindnesses type of day.

Helen.
