About the Image(s)

My camera club hosted a wonderful program, "Still Life ??“ Beyond Fruit Bowls and Flowers," presented by Betsy Wilson. It was very inspirational and showed subject matter beyond traditional still life images. She’s a wonderful photographer and her website is well worth checking out: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.letscapturethemoment.com%2Fabout%2Fpresentations-and-speaking-appearances-2%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cd3ad6c243ee84aaed3b408dd8f1f0f46%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638824085764529042%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=xkV2gRO5F0jn%2B8HJgxx9G8w4JZTj8Ye9oZExcfdfgqI%3D&reserved=0

So, venturing beyond the fruit bowls and flowers, I decided to create a fall still life while out for a photo hike one day last fall. I found a cool piece of bark, gathered different leaves and foliage, and tried to create a pleasing arrangement to photograph. Here is one image that I came up with. In Lightroom, I did some cropping and a slight boost in saturation/luminosity in the oranges and reds.
