Colorful Creeper - Fences in Fall
The fabulous fall colors of a Virgina Creeper vine adorn this fascinating fence.
Second reveal from my Fences series - I might name it Fences in Fall since almost all have autumn colors in luscious bokeh behind. We had a stunning fall - the colors were amazing!
I embarked on this themed collection this fall after conceiving of it perhaps a couple of years ago when I noticed a number of fences with "character" on my explorations around town.
I do not like to place limitations on where I might go with my art, but this time I quickly fell into an interesting, and pleasing set of parameters for this project:
-- A fence/gate (ok duh)
-- Foliage - wtf plants just growing everywhere. Ok, I like plants...a lot. so this is a plus
-- Ok um the truth is that plants photobombed just about every capture - so they became an integral part of the project.
-- Taken between 11am and 1:30pm - midday "flat" light which is supposed to be baaaaad
-- Z6ii (because it's much easier to walkaround with that size a camera)
-- Z 40mm f/2 muffin lens (again, much easier to walkaround with this small thing)
-- Captures at f/2 for shallow DoF, and max bokeh
-- Bracketing of 3 shots @ +/- f/.7 (sometimes I went further) to make sure I got the 'best' ETTR exposure I could
-- Briliiant fall colors (although I might deviate from that at times)
Over a 2+ month period, I took several thousand captures, which I've now culled down to about 120 - and it's very hard to choose between these that remain.
Cheers!
