Stanmer Park

I wasn't here for the assignment, but i often go to Stanmer Park to take photos, so here are some from last autumn:

I liked it in autumn because of the colours of the leaves- they were really bright, and especially (as in the photo) when the sun went through them. I used quite a large aperture (as in, high) to let in lots of light. I also changed the settings on my camera for high contrast/high saturation; I like the effects of this on the picture, it gives the subject more life.







This next photo is kind of similar; i thought it looked like someone had thrown some paint at it. Placed just off centre for effect, used high saturation/ quite a low shutterspeed (apparently 100) (why the sky is so white) Tree looks like it has character.



















Taken in January- i made it black and white on the computer. I really liked the way the trees are all straight up and down and have no branches- making the light on the path stripy, and the light on the sides of the path (on the trees) also is stripy (zebra?) Luckily there was someone walking down at a point of perspective, which adds interest, as your eye is led to him.















Woods! Stanmer park in September, i liked the light (again) made by the trees. Shutterspeed was 80, i think, as it was actually quite dark in the trees.












Snow at Stanmer- the rest of the world was either white or black (snow or object) and it was quite a relief to find these leaves- their color really stands out against the background.
