Follow the Yellow by alophoto

Follow the Yellow

This is a similar shot to the one I took of the same stretch of road on a snowy day last winter: http://365project.org/amandal/365-year-2/2013-03-07. I liked the yellow line through the yellow tree lined road.

Hope you are having a super weekend!! I'm feeling mellow yellow today:).
I have always wanted to try a photo like that, but can never find a stretch of road without traffic.
love the comparison

Love it!Gorgeous in both seasons!!!Hope to see more of this great find in different conditions!!!
October 27th, 2013  
Super shot! Great colours.
October 27th, 2013  
great shot
October 27th, 2013  
Great shot! Really eye-catching. The colour scheme's pretty good too, the way the yellow picks out a similar colour of the trees.
October 27th, 2013  
This is very beautiful, love the lone leaf!
October 27th, 2013  
Neat! Like how the yellow leaf echoes the yellow line!
October 27th, 2013  
Great capture:) like the yellow and peacefulness of this way:)
October 27th, 2013  
Nice shot, Amanda! And I love seeing the same shot in winter. Cool!
October 27th, 2013  
omg I can't stop laughing at your last tag!!!!!! I can so relate though
October 27th, 2013  
Very pretty! Love the lines and colours.
October 27th, 2013  
Great composition. Like the colour balance from the lone leaf.
October 27th, 2013  
is this a road you have been stalking? did you put that perfect leaf there? did you find the wixard? so many questions - great shot amanda !
October 27th, 2013  
@gozoinklings The leaf was there and I was pleased, so pleased. How cool that the leaves are yellow there. I've gone by this a few times, but the one that I was really stalking was this one: http://365project.org/amandal/365-year-2/2013-10-17

And thanks so much, lady:)))!
October 27th, 2013  
Wonderful curved leading line! Love the leaf on the street and the yellow trees.
October 27th, 2013  
great capture, line, composition light and tones
October 27th, 2013  
Love your pov and the curves of the road - fab composition! : )
October 27th, 2013  
Ok first of alll, I went straight to see the snow one, and it was a FAV, for sure. These colors are exquisit!!! Love the endless feeling on this one. Gorgeous!
October 27th, 2013  
@deniseescovino Aw, thanks for that fav, lady. You are so sweet!!
October 27th, 2013  
@amandal Thank YOU for that magnificent shot. We don't have snow here so it fascinates me
October 27th, 2013  
Kev
That's a great road and a great capture, Amanda. I remember it well as I think it was the first shot of yours that I think I saw.
October 27th, 2013  
Wonderful POV! Love the leading line and the yellows throughout!
October 27th, 2013  
@deniseescovino I'm pretty new to snow, too. Still magical to me. I hope that the magic never fades. I am still in awe by fall change and it has been 9 or so years since I first experienced it.

@snaggy How cool!! That was so long ago, huh?! Thanks, Kev!!
October 28th, 2013  
@jsw0109 Love that you got the tags. Those are fun to put in there!!
October 28th, 2013  
Nice lines Amanda. I miss seeing your comments...but I know how hard it is.....but i do look forward to seeing your photos. We are leaving Wed for our winter trip so I will probably get behind a bit, but will do my best to keep up.
October 28th, 2013  
The trees are as yellow as the lines. How awesome is that!!!!
October 28th, 2013  
Very cool, hope you used a remote :-)
October 28th, 2013  
@anzere03 One called my finger. I had a dog on a leash with me, too, but I looked both ways first:)).
October 28th, 2013  
I just love the two lone leaves randomly scattered across the pavement!
October 28th, 2013  
Love this one and the winter one. Lovely capture.
October 28th, 2013  
brick road?
October 28th, 2013  
@twr I was going to make it Follow the yellow striped road, but...
October 28th, 2013  
i remember the other shot... you ought to go for a 4 season effort on this one :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NCwdo2_xak
October 28th, 2013  
This is really neat. I love the way it takes your eyes around the curves. The changing colours in the trees are beautiful.
October 28th, 2013  
did you notice that guy with his yellow pants down behind the trees? tee-hee! love the curvy yellow you captured.
October 28th, 2013  
wonderful Shot :)
October 28th, 2013  
What a difference those to lonely color coordinated leaves make. The curve is gorgeous. I've taken a bunch of these lately. Guess I should post at least one.
October 28th, 2013  
Love the curve and gradient in the road :)
October 28th, 2013  
Nice lines and yellows :)
October 28th, 2013  
Amanda, this is gorgeous =) I always loved low perspective shots, they make you feel like you falling into the picture, and those yellow lines makes this feeling even stronger - just wonderful - fav!
October 28th, 2013  
fabulous POV and beautiful autumn colors! love this!
October 28th, 2013  
What a great POV for leading us into the yellow leaves! I am glad to see you were safe and can post this because otherwise, it may have been a dangerous way to take this image!
October 28th, 2013  
Neat shot - like the yellow leaf on the road as well!
October 28th, 2013  
Superb idea and great POV! Fab :)
October 28th, 2013  
@mariyakey I love low shots, too. It's amazing how different that perspective makes things. I often shoot scenes from multiple perspectives and then choose what I prefer. I had one here that was a tad higher, but I liked the drama of the low. Thanks so much for appreciating this, too...and for your kind fav, Mariya!!
October 28th, 2013  
@jyokota I did look both ways first. My last shot I took, I saw cars coming, but still had to get that shot in. It worked out ok. Thanks, Junko!!
October 28th, 2013  
I remember your winter version so well. This is also great with the Autumn colours and that one lone leaf in the middle. Super pov!
October 28th, 2013  
@sunshinephoto5 Oh, hope you can find the chance and place sometime. Last winter I parked my car and stood in front of it for the shot. This time, I just looked both ways and went out...thankfully it wasn't too trafficky. Thanks, lady!

@summerfield You made me look. Are your eyes that good or are you tricking me?!:) Funny lady!
October 28th, 2013  
Beautiful picture, Love the yellow leading line and pov
October 28th, 2013  
Mac
Really cool angle and I'm glad there was no traffic! Otherwise it would be dead red.
October 29th, 2013  
@riverlandphotos I know, right?! I looked both ways...so cautious am I!!:)
October 29th, 2013  
Looks great with the leaves complimenting the yellow road lines. Am I allowed to say I prefer the winter view though?
October 29th, 2013  
@thirtysevenways NO!;-) Of course. It was more dramatic. I got the exact same pov in another version of the shot, but for some reason preferred this one for the autumn one. Winter was more dramatic! Thanks, Andy!
October 29th, 2013  
I love road shots and this one is great - especially with fall colors!
October 29th, 2013  
Different shots, but both are beautiful
October 29th, 2013  
@amandal I am so jealous, my hubby was out your way and came home with a photo from the road on the Roebling bridge. I was all Hey!! Not fair. How is that possible anyway???
October 29th, 2013  
Aw, wish you had come and we could have met up again. I got a Roebling roadway shot earlier in the year. You have to step out in the road if it is clear. Not the safest, but less populated that the BB:). http://365project.org/amandal/365-year-2/2013-01-06

Thanks, Dawn!! @sunshinephoto5
October 29th, 2013  
@amandal The boys loved Cinni and want to go back, when they do i am tagging along! you would never ever be able to get a shot like that on BB. Awesome capture!
October 29th, 2013  
Great POV and the lone yellow leaf is perfect. I believe I faved your similar winter shot, and I'm gonna fav this one too!
October 30th, 2013  
@wendyhgill You are sweet, Wendy. Thanks sooo much for the fav!!:)
October 30th, 2013  
lovely lines!
October 30th, 2013  
Great POV. Love that leaf too
October 30th, 2013  
@rachelwithey @moreyoulessme

Thanks so much, ladies. I was drawn to the leaf, too, Rachel. I shot it without the leaf, too, but I thought that the color added.
October 31st, 2013  
Fav. This is great. Great leading line, pov, and colors. My favorite part is the lone yellow leaf. Brings a sense of a journey, one that we may often overlook. We go through our trials and tribulations in life, sometimes seemingly epic in nature. But is the path of an ant, a drop of water or even this leaf any less stunning?
October 31st, 2013  
@losthorizon LOVE your words here, my friend. Poetry. I was so drawn to that yellow leaf, too. I shot with and without it, but I had to have it in there. It helped tell the story. So appreciate the fav, too!
October 31st, 2013  
That lone leaf is fab. Great POV.
November 2nd, 2013  
@fauxtography365 I loved that leaf. Thanks, my friend!
November 2nd, 2013  
Love this perspective.
November 3rd, 2013  
What a lovely line of the road. I like the yellow especially that lone leaf.
November 7th, 2013  
@nadaa @kjarn Thanks so much, ladies!
