Autumn Moods Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi all. Autumn is in full swing here so I thought I might show another view of it from our “back yard” as I haven’t been anywhere to speak of for a while.
This was taken on the banks of the Rangitikei River about 1 KM from home. It’s great to have such a resource close to home for photographic experimentation, and for what I consider “restorative wandering”.
This is a stitch of 5 frames combined in Photostitch.
Photos taken with a 17mm lens (25.5 equiv)
1/25 sec
F 7.1
ISO 100
Enjoy, Paul.

Hi Paul,

An interesting experiment, the outlook is very creative, this image creates a sense hypnotic, like a dream, that makes our eyes explore the whole scene looking for their details, good work and thanks for sharing.

Regards
José

A nice POV and good composition of nature

Hello Paul,

What a contrast, you are enjoying Autumn and we are struggling to get some Spring days in Calgary. The weather has been cold here with snow still falling down today. Excellent perspective from below the canopy. The light is very god in the image and the colours of the season look very appealing. Thanks Paul.

Hallo Paul,
A very refreshing view you present us here. Something not many people would thought about in making it like this. The stitch looks very good and the large version is really impressive. Great angle here and a very good presentation....well done.
Have a nice weekend, Henk

Greg1949 (8513) 2008-04-27 10:12

Paul, what a dizzying and fabulous view of the forest, truly a fine capture and the lines of the trees across the stitch are great, the seams are not detectable at all.

Miha2ou7 (4923) 2008-04-28 1:50

Hey Paul,

A lovely photo, and a good use of the panoramic option, love how you composed it. It`s rather full but still leaves a bit of breathing space. It has beautiful colors and sharpness all around. Good work.

See you around.

pablominto (41148) 2008-04-28 5:19

Hello Paul,
Nice to get some autumn moods now when spring is at its top, hehehe!
Original point of view gives an original image, almost abstract in its nature...
Nice!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Paul:

Ohhhhh! origual prospect that most of these trees seen from the bottom up. Colossal image. Congratulations.

Best regards

Josep

Stepan (27175) 2008-04-28 10:26

That pov, with that lense, makes the forest look really strange. Almost scarrying, in a certain way. Hopefully, there is a blue sky and some sunrays... Well seen and done.

Hi Paul,
very unusual pano capture but a positive surprise. Good quality in that ground to ground combination. My head tries to get horizontal for that as the impression is very strong.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Bonjour Paul;
je suis étonné de constater que cette photo se prête si bien à un LP, elle est nette et si précise, un stitch remarquable et parfait sur les jointures.
Une vue qu'on qualifie de vertigineuse, baignée dans des couleurs bien naturelles et des lumières domptées.
Best regards.
Daniel.

josepmarin (34011) 2008-04-29 11:29

Hi Paul,
Perfect dynamic effect and great graphism in this very well realized stitch.
The POV is very good, and creates an excellent perspective of the trees that flee towards the sky, in a very creative scene.
The large version is excellent.
Best regards,
Josep

jmdias (19729) 2008-04-29 17:21

paul

very creative compo, the version in panoramic view is very different here with the trees growing up. Very interesting the view you got despit to be an usual pov. I liked the soft colors and shapes and the marvelous light too. congratulations

jorge

plimrn (19688) 2008-04-29 17:32

WOW!! The delicate lacework of the golden autumn leaves is bueatiful, interesting contrast between the heavy trunks on the left and the more delicate ones on the left. I like jose's descriptives, "hypnotic" & "like a dream" I imagine lying lazily on my back looking up at the trees; I don't even need to mess with a camera - thanks to your work.
HLj, Pat

scobert (5333) 2008-04-29 18:45

Hi Paul,
This may very well be the most unusual image of trees that I have ever seen. This is highly creative and very effective work in my opinion. You created a truly magical image. Outstanding!
Stan

trekks (14334) 2008-04-29 22:37

hi Paul

This is really a great view of the nature and you have presented it very well in this large format. The serenity and wilderness under bright natural light, very good work.

Henryk_Bilor (20367) 2008-04-30 2:07

Hi Paul
I realise that spring near me means autumn in southern hemisphere:). Both seasons can be beautiful. Great stich - excellent view at the trees and sweet colours.
Regards

jafadabret (40185) 2008-04-30 3:18

Paul bonjour.
Je trouve cette photo très belle et j'aurais aimé l'avoir faite. Le POV est excellent pour rendre le dynamisme créé par le graphisme des arbres et de la perspective. Une lumière divine ajoute encore à la beauté de l'ensemble.
Jacques

JPlumb (3153) 2008-04-30 4:31

Wow, it took me a minute to realize what I was looking at. Very nice Paul. I've seen a lot of 180 panos, but I think this is the first that I've seen over the top like this. It's a little disconcerting, but cool. The detail, seen especially in the large post is excellent. That one tree on the left especially is really impressive when seen in the larger format. Very nice.

Thanks, John

Budapestman (42660) 2008-04-30 9:22

Hi Paul,
Beautiful impression with spectacular panoramic composition. I like the picturesque colours and the fine details, atmosphere is great. Very well done! Have a nice evening

Excellent DOF giving an idea of the considerable height of these trees - almost dizzy :-) Colours are amazing!
Congratulations!

Hi Paul
Well its very original Oh yes it's autumn in your country:).

feather (50040) 2008-05-01 7:35

This is an amazing image, very well stitched. I can't quite visualise how you took it but I assume it involved laying on your back ;D The detail in the large version is impressive. good work

crckt (7090) 2008-05-01 8:10

Vato_Law (11686) 2008-05-01 12:11

Hello Paul,
Strange view but a great work to stitch all these high trees in such a way that it causes vertigo just looking at the photo.
The visual impact is great, and jou managed very well with the light and colours creating this very interesting work.
Cheers.
Paulo

Tue (25608) 2008-05-01 14:38

Hi Paul,
A great and creative idea to capture the autumn trees like this in this horizontal composition. Superb large version too of great quality. The light is beautiful and illuminates the leaves very nicely, so they contrast very well with the blue sky. Excellent work, thanks a lot for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Clementi (44919) 2008-05-01 15:23

Hi Paul,
Very impressive and vertiginous shot ! Trees seen from the bottom look so high ! Great idea of this panoramic picture ! Difficult light conditions on the left but well managed, the global picture looks quite balanced.
Thanks a lot for this experiment.

Hi Paul,
I really enjoyed this shot and the mental preparation that precede so as to achieve this very attractive presentation. I can also feel my head turning and enjoying the lovely foliages set against a lovely sky. Brilliant shot!!

All the best.

Angshu (33995) 2008-05-07 0:56

Hello Paul
Superb work...you must have taken the 5 shots lying on your back. The large version is truly impressive. Fantastic colours especially on the right. Restorative wandering...I like the term. Good work!

Hi Paul, I love the choice of a panoramic framing &, the POV as the eye looks up the trunks of the trees creates a great prospective, very good light & a nice idea, kind regards Wilson.
