Unfortunately this year I did not get to capture the fall colors at their peak but it has been anything but normal for so many, I should just be grateful for what was presented to me and be glad that the world is still spinning.

Have you ever wondered why the leaves change color every year, well to be exact they do not change color they lose color to be precise specifically the color green.

Starting in Spring leaves enter the picture as food factories for the tree, chlorophyll the chemical that that gives a leaf its green color soaks up solar radiation and converts carbon dioxide and water into carbs namely sugar and starch to feed the tree.

The colors you see in the fall foliage are present Spring/Summer the oranges, reds and yellows are just masked by the green chlorophyll, when the days get shorter the trees stop producing food and the chlorophyll breaks down revealing the other colors in the leaves, at least until they fall off.

I took this on Oct 03, 2020 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30mm Lens at 26mm 0.8 sec f/11 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

The new Professor found her barings and settled into School nicely. There were a few things still left to do before the term started officially next week, and many things to consider as she settled into her new role. For now, she pulled out a book - there was material to review.

Nature Communications did a study and found that free-ranging felines kill between 1.4 to 3.7 billion birds and 6.9 to 20.7 billion mammals annually.

Nature's preferred, insistent and persistent formation is a hexagon, and the structure of hoarfrost is no exception. Impossible to see with the naked eye, it is so fascinating to get a close up shot to reveal one of Nature's tiny miracles.

I used three extension tubes (13mm, 21mm and 31mm) added to the macro lens.

Another study in color grading.

I took this RAW shot 5 years ago and it is technically all wrong. I clearly remember the day since it was one of my first outings with my new Sony camera. Randi with her sharp eye pointed out the interesting patterns on the sand dunes in Malibu and I took this and a few similar shots. I clearly used the wrong aperture, the focus is off and framing is haphazard.

I have come back to this photo a few times over the years, intrigued by the shadows in the sand but not knowing what to do.

Recently, as I am learning more about color theory and color grading techniques, I have taken a swipe at editing this photo in a complementary color scheme. While the raw file is totally lacking color, with typical SoCal grayish sand, ocean and sky, this edit is specifically focused on complimentary orange and blue hues, evoking African sand dunes by the Indian Ocean.

Thank you very much for your views, kind comments and faves.
