PHOTOGRAPH INFO

Another film shot from autumn 2005, this time using Fuji Reala 100. I remember thinking at the time: "This film isn't fast enough for this shot!" I suppose I was right - the blur on the hands is quite noticeable, but it's still a fun image. Fuji Reala has some nice color saturation - certainly not as wild as the Kodak Portra UC from the last post, but lovely for landscape work.

To those celebrating, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving Day holiday!

My thanks go out to everyone for visiting and sharing your thoughts -- positive, negative, neutral or anything in between. I am truly grateful for the feedback and I appreciate the time & energy that goes into leaving comments.

Your thoughts inspire me, keep me on my toes and definitely keep this place lively!

THANK YOU!

Post-processing: Shot with the Nikon F75 with the Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 DI LD lens at 17mm and Fuji Reala 100 film; I don't have the exact exposure info. Curves adjustments and color balancing for tone.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

im one of those people who loves fall and all colors. im so happy when i see all fall-colors wich are my favorite colors. yellow,red,orange,green those are wonderful together. you have all them in this picture. + you have that childish feeling with that boy on the picture. i can remember when i was little boy and played in areas just like this one. this shot is kind of nostalgic for me. thank u for that K. have a great day.

I think the leaves flying of in different directions from the ball is the most interesting detail. The blur's fine and does a good job of reinforcing the motion.

Very dreamy and fairytale like!

Kathleen ,

Love the colours, so warm! Excellent work Kathleen.

We

Kathleen...Thank you for being an inspiration to me. If I hadn't stumbled upon your photos some 3 years ago, I might not have picked up the camera again. I've found so much joy viewing the world through your eyes and now, once again, through my own lens.

Your a wonderful talent and friend. Hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful Thanksgving!

I actually like the motion blur in this. It's a beautiful shot. the colors are perfect.

Great!

nice nice stuff

Great timing, great shot.

Excellent shot and so colorful. I love the building!

Thanks Kathleen. I've been visiting almost every post, usually from my RSS reader for about 2 years now. Your work is truely inspiring. I hope you keep them comming. Hope you enjoy thanksgiving with family and friends.

my instant reaction was the blur, and wishing that there was either less or more... it being shot on film does truly explain it and point out the briliance in digital for things like unplanned shoots!

Wow! beautifully composed.. the small hut in the background looks cute

Great shot !
Actually, the blurring of the hands add to the shot. It gives a little more dynamic on the picture !
Nice work !

You're such a modest photographer! You let the world speak on Your shots for itself, while You remain silent. It's a precious quality; most of the photobloggers put themselves in the centre of their work, even if it's not self-portrait. Congratulations.

Kathleen, what a combination of opposites! The blue aginst the gold, the old tree and the boy, the feather-light leaves surrounding the house of stone............But then what else should we expect when we are in Durham Township?

Oh yes, then there is the excellent composition with the 3/4 view of the stone house and tree, being a prety neat shot in itself.

And the swirling pattern of the airborn leaves.
And the tones are reminder of the days of Kodachrome.

Thank you again, David

(Then there are the two heavy lines feeding into the stone house, suggesting perhaps that the resident has cable and broadband.)

Oh, and one more thing. Could you come back to this spot at the first good snow and have friends help build a snowman on the spot the leaf-launcher now occupies, and snap the same angle? (I'm only half joking, this scene is one of those settings that strikes me as an excellent "four seasons" subject. The bare tree against a grey sky and the dark patterns of the stone house in the snow.......oh well.......it's easy to get carried away with images like this.)

Nice :)

Gorgeous! Made me smile, maybe I'm having a sappy day but my eyes stung with tears :P Beautiful colours and the leaves in the air... fantastic.

I haven't been on your site for a while and I was blown away by this lovely shot, it's absolutely stunning and I love the quality of the light.

Votre travail nous émerveille, les scènes photographiées sont attendrissantes, pleines de vie, les couleurs dominantes mettent en avant un travail de qualité, bravo à vous.
