Photo of the Week 2014-10-13

As we celebrate the Canadian Thanksgiving, autumn colours are near their peak. On the Bruce, that means a plethora of yellow and gold from the poplar, birch and aspen, mixed with the green of the cedar, spruce and tamarack that this still waiting to turn.

I've been looking forward to this time of year, waiting to make some artistic images using intentional camera movement. I had the golden-green landscape in mind, particularly a stand of birch or aspen with yellow leaves against the green of the cedars.
 
Below is one sample of what can be created with this technique. It has an abstract feeling, with sense of texture created from the light and movement of the individual leaves.

This image just might find it's way onto a canvas and ultimately one of our walls.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
