Fall Colors Zoomed

This started as an in-camera zoom blur. I added some extra zoom in photoshop and cloned a branch.

1/8 sec. at f/18 ISO 100
24-105mm lens

Very nice Denise. I like how the center of the zoom is at the spot in the tree where the two large branches come together. Nice colors, does remind me of autumn! I would be tempted to go after that one twig right in the center. Good one!

Nice Denise, if it were mine and it isn't), I might put the vibrance up a bit. Good zoom in-camera.

Jackie, I agree, good eye.:)

I like the zoom on this one. I might have to try that on a fall color image! I have never tried zooming in camera. Is there a quick tutorial anywhere?

Nice image and application, Denise.

Like the zoom, but if it were mine I might try to blur a little more of the center area. The "in focus" area seems to me to be a little more than desirable. But ... ;)

Hi Judy, I have posted a free excerpt from the Guide to Pleasing Blurs here: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...481#post550481

Thanks for inspiring me to post it :)

Thanks folks,
Mark, I like the amount of focus.
Artie, I appreciate the info! And the tutorial is wonderful!

Nice work, Denise! Love the colors, and the focal point and blurring are spot on. Would just up the vibrance a bit as Jackie suggested.
