Betty Rembert - Horsecreek in the Fall

Betty Rembert - Horsecreek in the Fall

The fall season for this year has truly been spectacular in Ashe but now it’s rapidly becoming a memory as the golds and yellows fade into winter’s brown and cover the forest floor once again. But the camera catches the moment in time and replays it whenever we wish to visit the moment again, winding the clock back to 3:42:21 PM on October 15, 2011. When the snows of winter lock us in, we can know that spring will come again soon, followed by warm summer and another fall show of color. We don’t even have to leave the County-no plane tickets, no security checks and very little expense. How fortunate we are to live where others vacation.
Canon 50D with an EF24-105mm f/4L lens set at 24mm, a shutter speed of 1/160 sec, aperture at f/11 and and ISO of 100. All perfect manual settings for this afternoon shot.

    Not a bad backyard, if I may say so??

    The white flat-topped-box in the middle distance is not so offensive, given the soft organic points of focus of the individual trees and the leading lines supplied by the tree shadows in the foreground. The leaves in the upper section appear a little heavy at first and the sharp detail a bit distracting. But then, under tension, it does eventually give way to the shooting distance, catapulting the eye into the landscape as it is framed off by the general dark effects going on in the foreground. Like squeezing a pip – then wham!

    I would have preferred the proportions reversed – i.e. deeper at base and less leaves at top. Just an opinion – otherwise an ocean of beauty. Thank you!
