Shadow: Anna Keiser

What is a silhouette but a shadow that is coming forth? Both shadows and silhouettes alike are intangible. You can only touch the surface of them. While these shadows are standing and facing you, it's not the shadows that are the subject, rather, it's the light creating them.

Elements: Anna Keiser

There is an energy in the changing seasons. An element of fire, as things change so quickly. The leaves are dying dramatically, turning bright shades of red or yellow. Who knew that death could be so beautiful? The blurry aspect of this photo signifies the fleeting flames that a fire has. I stepped away from man-made structures in this concept because this tree was too beautiful.

Macro: Sarah Eslinger

When trying to decide what to shoot for the term Macro, I thought what else could be better in the fall than a picture of the changing leaves. Macro to me, means to show something small in full. Larger than it could ever be in full detail. I found this leaf in the middle of downtown on a slowly dying tree. The light shining through the decay of the weathered leaf was beautiful to me.

Color - Scott Kotelnicki

Naturals color - Here I have captured the remnants of last years fall against the green enriched background of this years new growth.

This shot was taken at 8:58 in the morning well past the golden hour of sunrise but because it was with in a shaded area it was able to take on the warm yellows and orange associated with sunrise.
 
A Canon 7D was used with a 60mm Macro lens f2.8 at 1/100.

Decay: Shalia Boggs

Decay.  Old and weathered.  Dead or dying.  When I think of decay, I immediately think of the worst.  However, it doesn't always have to be terrible.  Decay can sometimes be quite beautiful.

The photo I've taken is one of driftwood.  It sits hidden behind trees in full blossom that are full of vibrant life, almost like the ugly duckling.  But look closer and you'll find beauty in the lichen that live on this tree.  Old and weathered is the beautiful swan.
