Amost Fall

We have been teased lately with cooler nights.  Fall is finally on the way.  I am ready.  So is the pampas grass. Due to the dry, hot summer, many trees are giving up early.

I reviewed some shots from last fall to get ready to shoot this year.  If we have any color, I want to do a better job of capturing it.  Since the shots were RAW I gave another go at the pics with a little HDR processing.  

Fall 1 HDR  It brought out a lot more detail in this shot.  I like the results.

Fall 2 HDR  I also managed to remove my neighbor's ugly storage shed from this shot.

Have a great weekend!

    I love the HDR effect, is that a program you went out & purchased? These are so pretty, things are just beginning around here to change, but we never see the full blow out colors you get in the east, Simply Gorgeous!!

    Great shots, Penny, I can't wait till ours changes here. We have just a slight tinge of color starting to show. Mostly cause it's been so dry and we've had a couple nights of high 30's temps. They should be in full swing by the time we get back.

  • Thanks for all the comments! Bear, my ass is not Pampass! lowe, my name has never been Penny. It is a nice name, but it is not my name. I know several really nice ladies named Penny and they are great photographers though. Thanks for confusing me with one of them.
