“Autumn brings along crisp air and the last harvest batch before Nature becomes dormant for winter. Yet, pumpkins seem to be saying: “Watch our glorious colours and shapes despite cool and rainy days!”. / The striking patterns of this humble plant is a feast to the eyes. Lying in an array side by side on a farm stand, each pumpkin competes to catch the eye. A true botanical kaleidoscope, each one holds a unique design like a hand-painted canvas. / This capture portrays the natural colours of those glorious pumpkins.” / / / / Artist statement / My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens. I never lure my animated subjects to come close to me: spontaneity is the key. / / This is an original uncropped image. / / /
“African Iris” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © “May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow. / May the soft winds freshen your spirit. / May the sunshine brighten your heart. / May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you, / and may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.” / ~ Irish Blessing
“Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” / / ~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross /
A boardwalk descending into the valley in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, July 2008. I spend a lot of time walking around this city. There are so mant beautiful things to see. This is one of my routes. The lighting was perfect that evening. This image was combined and adjusted with Photomatix from 5 exposers with one stop difference between shots.
The clouds were starting to roll in. A storm was coming and i new i did not have much time. The light through the trees was warm and cast beautiful, long shadows across the steps. I was drawn into the scene. I set up my tripod and mounted my Olympus E-410. I new i wouldn’t capture everything with just one exposure. I took five, one stop apart from each other. Here is the result after processing with Photomatix.
