Autumn leaves # 2 (vintage)

Well, the photographs of this series are probably nothing special, certainly not in terms of composition, or execution and accuracy. Yet I think or hope, there also is a place for this kind of thing in life (and on Flickr).

I feel these images have a subtleness, some kind of gentle in-the-moment-ness that I find very relaxing.

The halation and the thin DOF that comes with the wide aperture diverts the eye from too much detail, it simplifies and brings the muted vintage color palette in the foreground, which has some painterly quality to it.

I don't really get tired of looking at them, just enjoying the colors; but maybe it's just me, having the memories of taking them that provoke this type of emotional response?

Either way, perhaps some of you like staring at them too for a bit :)
