Autumn- clear and blur

I wanted to take some photos of autumn leaves weeks ago. So I was looking at the colours every time I was outside. I went Wilton Park on a weekend. The color was beautiful. I always have the same problem, I took too many and have to spend time to do deleting. I only did very little adjustments on computer. Quite happy with the improvement of using camera.

Because of the exposure setting, the colour I got from the camera is brighter than the real colour. So it is true, the camera can lie. It is by the end not human's eyes. What the camera can see is different from what you can see. So how you use the camera will depend on what you want from the camera. 

These two images were taken at night. There was one night, the moon looked so beautiful. I thought I would take a photo when I got home. But when I got home, I lost the perfect location, the clouds moved, the surroundings blocked my view. I had to take the leaves in. The result was interesting. The moon did not look very clear as I wanted, guess my camera or my lens is not for this purpose. But I got the leaves at this beautiful colour in the dark. I was happy with this. I could not take good photos at night before. 

I managed to cropped the leaves out. 

After doing research on Penelope Umbrico, I had been thinking to do something like that. Today, I brought the autumn leaves ones onto photoshop to see what change I can make. Tried filter but nothing I liked. Then tried blur. I started to blur the image until every clear form was taken away, only had the colour left. I was happy with the result. So I blurred more images and printed them out. I wanted to see what they look like together. I like the result I think. I am taking away the clear image, but leaving the colours, and these yellow, orange sort of colour are what I see everyday this autumn. When I search "autumn" on google and flickr, there are so many beautiful clear images. There is no need for another one or two more. But now I blurred the beauty, only leave the colour to say something. I put all these blurred images together, took away individuality. I think i am simplifying the feelings.
