Autumn Shadows

Another shot from my photo walk around Stroudsburg the other day.
Great processing, the leaves on the ground look like confetti

A good composition using what is right there in front of you! Very colourful and appealing!

Really cool! Looks like confetti on the ground.

I like this one -- it has the feel of a dada-esque painting.

@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole!
@maggiemae Thank you Maggie! I have to attribute being able to see these things thanks to last month's photography book club.
@cdonohoue Thank you Cathy!
@httpgeffed Thank you Colleen!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@archaeofrog Thank you Katie!
@dakotaburns Thank you Donald! The processing effect is called "Oil Painting" so I guess it worked!

Ann I checked the theme pictures and yours was not in it. I think the it should read autumncolors not fallcolors. love your picture.
September 30th, 2013  
So cool! It looks like abstract art.

@bruni Oh thanks Bruni- both for the comment and for the correction. I will fix that.
@eudora Thank you Diane!

Lovely.

Really nicely created abstract of the autumn colors and perfect for the theme.
September 30th, 2013  
Looks great.

Wow, we were amazed at how quickly the colors changed since we were gone. If we are going to make the colors Ann, it looks like it should be during the next couple of weekends. What works best for you? I can see how it works from this end
September 30th, 2013  
wow, love it!

@twr Thank you Timothy!
@sangwann Thank you Dione!
@cimes1 Thank you Carole! I was that good at painting, but I love these effects that can turn a picture in to one. It was perfect for this shot.
@la_photographic Thank you Laura!
@mhatch Thank you Mark!

@digitalrn Thanks Rick! Yes, I've been keeping track of the Pocono Color watch and at last count we were at 10% and just north of us was at 20%. October 12th would be the best Saturday for me and I think it will also be right around peak colors. The next weekend I'm free is the 26th (if we don't go to Batavia for Leigh's birthday) but I think it will be past peak colors by then. I know you want to go to Bushkill Falls and I have just learned of a really nice overlook and will find out more info on that if you like to have a shot looking across a valley of color. Let me know- I'm looking forward to this!

Beautifully done - lovely colours and shapes.

@kaesebiscuit Thank you Mr. B!!!! You have just made all the strange looks I got while standing on the sidewalk and taking a picture of a shadow and some leaves all worthwhile!
@alia_801 Thank you Alia! And thank you so much for the fav!

Smiling person in PA right now...

Can't say if I like the shadows or the colors more! Great pov Ann
October 1st, 2013  
cool painterly effect to this!
October 1st, 2013  
@fullcircle Thank you Cindy! The yellow leaves really looked so nice against the gray stone of the side walk. Glad you like it.
@northy Thanks Northy! I love the artistic effects on BeFunky. I do have to limit myself on them- but every now and then a photo just demands to be turned in to a painting and this was one of them.
October 1st, 2013  
@olivetreeann Ok Ann, I will check on the 12th and get back to you.
October 1st, 2013  
@digitalrn Sounds good Rick!

@prttblues Thanks Bev!
October 1st, 2013

October 2nd, 2013  
@moreyoulessme Thanks Jerri! Yes, a little decorative fence around some flowers which surround a tree on Main Street.

Lovely composition and processing...well spotted, captured and, i think, the right type of shot for this effect/filter...must say, i've never had this kind of success with filters...
October 6th, 2013  
@ericdibosco Thank you Eric! I do not have the type of camera that accommodates a filter- it's a simple point and shoot, so to get effects I use several on line processing sites (free!). This one is from a site called "BeFunky" which I love for their "artistic" effects that have the ability to make a photograph look like a painting. I believe this one is either called "Impressionist" or "oil painting". The gold leaves which had fallen on the gray sidewalk leant themselves to this effect because it really brought out their gold tones. The only negative side "effect" was that it washed out the sidewalk a bit since it was in direct sunlight. I'm glad you like it!
