Autumn Idyll

Autumn Idyll
As Autumn starts here, I look back here on one of my best Autumn days out from last year. Yesterday, I witnessed my first real look at the fresh Autumn gold colours and so have hopes of adding to my Autumn collection soon.

This taken from 'Strid Wood' in the Yorkshire Dales near Skiption.
PiP
Enjoy Large.

Welcome! As an amateur painter too, I always take it as a compliment when one of my viewers liken my photos as a painting. It demonstrates a certain artistic imaginative flair added to reality to convey a feeling. In practice, I did not do anything special to this photo other than process it as a three photo HDR and crop it.
Regards, Herb

Thanks Toz, I know you know the Strid too but we don't see light like this very often. About my fourth visit to that valley and waters.

A wonderful picture Herb. The deep reflections are so beautiful, as is the light highlighting the golden leaves. All the best, Rosa.

Yes I do agree it does look like a painting. I hope for some similar light in the days ahead.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Good that you enjoyed this Colin and like me, you may be blessed with such colours this year. But, if today is anything to go by, it will rain until there are no leaves left like this. Ah well.

Lovely warm and muted colours and especially the reflections look like an impressionistic painting. I like that you have given them plenty of room.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Gudrun club
Nice to see you again Gudrun. Glad you liked this photo with overtones of a painting. You yourself will have stood sometimes looking at a heavenly vista and said to yourself -this looks just like a painting. Sometimes nature is like that. I have now included the PiP showing the alternative landscape view taken from almost the same place at the same time but definitely another set of three photos to make up a HDR composition. The single originals although conveying the same scene have not captured the real feeling of light that I saw there. The lake mirror indeed gives room on the 'canvas' :)

 Keith Burton

Both these images are absolutely wonderful Herb............and I have to agree with the others that they have a real painterly feel to them, in particular the light and reflections are just amazing.

The autumnal colours are really lovely.........your HDR processing is so subtle that it's not immediately recognisable as such........which is just how it should be!

Outstanding work sir!
4 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks Keith - I know that you commented on the original set of these photos too last October. It was the light in the far trees and their reflections that really transfixed me here. - Glad you liked my HDR processing - I normally use that as close as natural as possible and I find it invaluable for evening out shadows and strong highlights.

Cheers, Herb

Keith Burton club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Just out of interest Herb - what HDR software do you use?
4 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
I use Photomatix 6.1.1. I have tried others but like this the best as it lets me blend in the final HDR process with any of my normal three exposures. In that: I shoot three photos at 2 stops differences (-2,0,+2) in RAW, then pass them on to Photomatix in 16bit TIFF before outputting in JPG. I then take a look at final processing in my PaintShopPro X8. Hope this helps.

Keith Burton club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thanks Herb............I used to use Photomatix years ago...........and produced some really awful, over-the-top images. I eventually gave up on HDR altogether. I may have to give it another go!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Frank J Casella
It was a great moment but real peace was absent due to many children passing by, because of a special Halloween day's activity on the paths. Coloured lights and weird chilling calls etc.
