Autumn is a dynamic sort of season. Falling leaves, blustery storms, maybe even an early frost or two. But it can also have days of stillness and light - the last effort of a summer unwilling to give up just yet.
Without trying to sounding too serious this combination of movement, colour and stillness is what I tried to create in these pictures. My daughter was all too willing to rush through the leaves and generally mess about. I rather like the outcome. All comments appreciated!
You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday. Enjoy the pictures.
Delightful captures Stewart! You can tell she's full of energy!
ReplyDeleteNice! She's a whirlwind in the leaf pile. Did you do these shots with a tripod? Were you focused on the leaves or your daughter? I think they're cool and unusual shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun - I love how you captured her motion in the photos with the long exposures. It's finally summerlike here today.
ReplyDeletei like it! an exhibition of joy!
ReplyDeleteShe is a wonderful ghosting little whirlwind indeed! Oh the fun of childhood and playing in autumn leaves and getting buried in them . . . ah yes, I remember it well . . .
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Stewart.
ReplyDeleteHere it is spring, but it seems autumn 13 degrees, too cold for the time of year.

Delightful pictures of one with lots od energy. I like Autumn too--and I like the day when Summer just won't let go. We are in late Spring or maybe we are having an early summer here. Sunshine and warmth. MB
ReplyDeleteI like the long exposures with the whirl wind daughter in there:) Lovely shots Stewart. Summer is trying to begin here in the 90"s today Happy Autumn
ReplyDeleteFun photos, Stewart!
ReplyDeletePlaying in the leaves is one of our favorite Autumn pastimes.
