A drive to our local park proved to be a theatrical event! At least through my viewfinder it was. This shot was done in LR and no Photoshop was used. I think this is my equivalent of saying “The objects in this mirror are closer than they appear.” 😀

Beautiful image, great title!

Thank you! Yay! I made an Iosatel title! 😀

I love the warm tones in this image. The leaves are so detailed for being so “far away”. I LOVE fall!!
November 13, 2014 at 7:56 am
Thank you! Me tooooo!
November 13, 2014 at 7:59 am
Perfect!
November 13, 2014 at 8:00 am
Why thank you so much!
November 13, 2014 at 8:02 am
There aren’t many people who can take minutia & bring it out in all its glory so, I meant it when I said perfect 🙂
November 13, 2014 at 8:11 am
That is so kind of you to say, truly!
November 13, 2014 at 8:14 am
I LOVE the simplicity in this image, Laura. I adore the way you highlighted these leaves to make them really stand out. YOU just encouraged me because I have decided to learn LR before the majority of PSCC. Yes, I am familiar with PS but not CC. Since I have just one brain, and that one I am not too sure of some days, my main focus is LR5. Thank you for confirming for me what I chose! You’re the best! (((HUGS))) Amy

Thank you Amy and I’m so glad you are encouraged. Honestly, I knew not one thing about photoshop some years ago nor a camera. Googling was my best friend haha. I think it’s a great idea to start with LR. And LR is a fantastic way to organize your photos too and now I can’t imagine my workflow without it. And again, if you ever have a question, I’d be happy to try and help! Thank you for liking the image. 🙂

I know already how to organize my photos in LR. YAY! That is the system I am going to keep throughout. My app on my iPad is LR Mobile and this is how I have gotten a taste of LR5. So with book in hand, I learn. I like the way PS crops, but I will give LR a try. We all have to start somewhere, now don’t we. I really appreciate your offer of help and I just may take you up on it. I also haven’t been ignoring your email, Laura. Life got crazy again yesterday and day before. I’ve been down at that magic place of the creek today to get my Peace of Mind back. Frozen toes today, LOL. Snow and cold. I brought along my iPad and yes I got a few of today. Then my battery was too low to support my camera in my iPad. But, at least I got a few. 🙂 xx Amy

No worries amy. My life is starting to get busy with the holidays so i understand. The main thing with all this is have fun!
November 13, 2014 at 12:53 pm
AMEN to that! I have SO much FUN with these apps and of course I apply what I learn to the real deal. LOL xx Amy

Thank you poppytump. 🙂 If the leaf would bow…..
November 13, 2014 at 9:15 am
Nice bit of color in the dark area – plus just the right amount in focus (and out)…I hope you gave nature a standing ovation!
November 13, 2014 at 9:17 am
Thanks Robert! I did. 😀
November 13, 2014 at 9:28 am
Beautifully understated 🙂

Beautiful soliloquy, no words required.
November 13, 2014 at 3:04 pm
Is that poison oak? Leafs of three let them be..
November 13, 2014 at 3:19 pm
I don’t think so but I’m not sure. Fortunately I was zoomed in with my 300mm lens lol.
November 13, 2014 at 3:21 pm
Good answer…
November 13, 2014 at 3:09 pm
One of the reasons I keep coming back here is that I love your great big balloon. Just thought you should know I’m not stalking you…I’m stalking your balloon. : )
November 13, 2014 at 3:20 pm
hahahaha That made me laugh. Thank you! I liked that balloon too and it’s why I never change it. I gave my husband a birthday present to ride in a balloon over Napa Valley and I took this before we lifted off. 🙂
November 13, 2014 at 4:00 pm
I’m picturing you literally driving through the park to capture this beauty. 🙂
Very nice Laura.
November 13, 2014 at 4:46 pm
Thank you :). It was a nice drive and a beautiful day!
November 13, 2014 at 7:11 pm
I love the focus. I will call it “Just you.”
November 13, 2014 at 8:32 pm
Thank you. 🙂
November 13, 2014 at 8:40 pm
Stunning photo, Laura. I don’t know how you spotted that, it looks quite small. You must have very sharp eyes 🙂 Looks like it’s one of those last, lonely autumn leaves. Hope you’re keeping warm.
November 14, 2014 at 6:53 am
Thank you so much Mabel. It’s amazing what you can find close by when you know you can’t walk too far 🙂
November 13, 2014 at 11:37 pm

Thank you Sara.
November 14, 2014 at 3:30 pm
I’m pretty sure this is poison oak…I hope you didn’t touch it. So beautiful…to look at. 😀
November 14, 2014 at 3:55 pm
