Autumn is Here!

It is such a beautiful autumn day I decided to take the grandsons to explore the new park here in Southfield on 10 mile and Inkster. So of course I took my camera with me in hopes of getting shots of the nice autumn foilage. I was somewhat disappoint. Although the park is really nice there was no diversity of trees. Mostly ash and some maple and some white pine but all the autumn leaves were yellow. No oranges, reds or any other colors that may have made for a truly colorful shot. But all was not lost I did find some interesting shots.


There was this tiny mushroom pushing up among the fallen leaves.

Some decaying trees.

Decaying plants.

Still some signs of growth.

The photo above was taken using a process called High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. Basically you take a minimum of 3 photos. One shot is taken with camera setting the way you would normally. One shot is underexposed and the other is overexposed. Combine all three photos and you get HDR. No. It not a disease but it can be contagious. It is a good application for shots that are difficult to take because you have bright spots and dark shadows. So you combine three 3 photos and you get a shot that averages out everything. You pickup things such as the reflection in the pond and the trees along the bank that would be difficult to get in any one of the three shots. Because everything is averaged out the colors are a little muted but the up side is you get detail that would be hard to come by any other way. And it still make for an interesting picture.
