PROJ #7: AUTUMN LEAVES

DIRECTIONS. Venture into the world and make photographs of autumn leaves. How you arrange and compose your photos is open to your interpretation. You may go about the project as a straight-forward landscape project. ...Or, you could collect leaf textures using macro settings. You can approach it like a still life project: arranging thing leaves as objects. Or you could think conceptually, and approach it like the environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy (click here for Andy).

REMEMBER:
1. Set the ISO of your camera appropriately.
2. Set the WB of your camera appropriately.
3. Open the aperture wide (small f-stop number) if you want an out of focus background.

4. Use macro function for close up textures.
