sunday selections - autumn colours (more photos added)

Juniordwarf and I went for a walk yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful autumn afternoon, after the normal early morning fog. Once that cleared, it was a glorious day, perfect for getting out of the house and taking photos.

These photos are edited in my favourite iPhone app at the moment, Camera+. I think I probably need to take a break from it for a while as there are so many other apps on my phone that I haven't used very much and I need to add some more effects to my photo albums.

So these are this week's photos for Frogpondsrock's Sunday Selections project.  If you get a chance, go over to Kim's blog and check out some of the other bloggers who are playing along.

My take on the 'sun through autumn leaves' idea

Autumn leaves - not many now, but in a couple of weeks
the ground will be covered


I love the red leaves



Update
Here are some more photos on a similar theme from today's adventures

This is from a spot near the river bank a few km out of town

And this is the view of the river from the same spot

the Forestry burn-offs further up the valley

  3. Red leaf fan here too :) And I love reflection shots.

    When I see some of the apps available I sometimes want an iphone. Will have to spend some time to see what is available for android. So jealous! :P

  6. Getting a lot of red leaves here in Adelaide too. The manchurian pears lining the streets are two toned, red on top, green below. I have one in my front yard.
    Your sun through the autumn leaves is magnificent!

  8. Thank you everyone, I'm glad you like my photos :) They really don't do the colours justice though, it all looks spectacular.

    @River, there's this tree at the end of our street that has green-yellow-red leaves, it looks like a traffic light. I tried to take a picture but it didn't really show what I was trying to show, so I didn't post it.

    @amandab, there are so many cool apps. I have to stop getting them and just work out how to use the ones I have! But I keep seeing beautiful images people have edited with a particular app & then I have to have it too LOL

  11. Thank you :) I never know whether to just post the pics as they are taken or tweak them a bit. I really love the effects some of the photo apps can give to photos that are shot in not the best conditions - eg most of these were taken in the middle of the day/early afternoon, when the light is very intense, so they can get quite washed out. I like putting some of the colour back :)

  12. Oops, sorry I accidentally deleted your comment on my Sunday Selections and now I can't get it back :(

  13. Oh :( Never mind! I think I said what great photos they are & what a beautiful place Venice is. There was one near the bottom that was a closeup of a building that I especially liked. I went there many years ago & the gondola ride was a highlight!

Hi! I know you hate having to type in the words as much as I do, but I am being furiously spammed, so I've had to reactivate that feature. If you're a real person I'd love to hear from you :-)
