Week 3: Autumn Leaves

 

Autumn is my favorite season. I love looking at the leaves and watching them change, and the chilly wind that forces me to run inside and grab my favorite sweater. I always thought trees were no big deal until I got glasses my sophomore year in high school. I was so surprised that you could see each individual leaf! When the wind blows through every leaf moves, and it seems as through the whole tree shifts. I always looked at the big picture but my eyes were open to the texture of the different colors and each individual piece becoming the whole. Even as you get closer and look at each leaf, they all have their own personality! I could literally spend all day looking at trees in fall, as simple as that seems. My Gramma has the hugest tree in her driveway in Fresno that I make her send me pictures of it because it has the biggest leaves I've ever seen and the prettiest colors! ( I didn't use that photo for this blog because in a couple of weeks it's going to look better and showing it now just wouldn't do it justice!) I can totally apply with to lighting because to convey one thing it isn't always the obvious choice that is the correct one! Lots of layering and different types of gobos or colors can be used in unusual ways to be even more effective.
