Since I've been enrolled in the NYIP course, I've been trying to get in the habit of taking my camera everywhere I go. Today, I took it along to a doctor's appointment on the upper east side and then decided to cut through the park on my way home. The result is the slideshow you see to the right, a new feature I added to my blog today.
I'm probably a couple weeks late for the peak of the fall colors, but as you can see, I still found some really great trees, leaves, and colors throughout the park. For more tips on finding and photographing fall colors, see this NYIP article on How to Photograph Autumn Colors written by the Dean, Chuck DeLaney.
I also decided to experiment a bit with watermarking my photos with "Robert M Becker Photography." I'm not sure if I like the font I am using or the size, but I do want to thank a new Facebook friend and photo enthusiast Shellie Wall for introducing me to Picnik, a great online photo editing application which makes adding watermarks (and many other fun features) easy!

ReplyDeleteRob - I love the photo of of the forked path in Central Park. Reminds me of my favorite poem by Robert Frost - A Road Not Taken.

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
