Here in central Texas we don’t have much of display of trees turning colors for the autumn and winter. Mostly the leaves just turn brown and drop to the ground. The Pin Oak tree, however, has some nice coloring for a short while.
I was out and about fairly early one morning and saw these clouds with some nice coloring. I was lucky and found a tree to add to the scene.
It snowed in central and south Texas last night. That’s a rare occurrence but it was even more unusual that it happened this early in the season. Our ash tree is quite laden with snow on its limbs.
My first assignment for panning was to be stationary and photograph an object in motion (like a vehicle). My second assignment was to be in a moving vehicle and photograph a stationary object. For this assignment, my brother was my chauffeur.
I’ve seen lots of photos for this assignment where the colors came out all swirly and beautiful. The colors in this photo weren’t like that, so I changed it to black and white to emphasize the panning effect.
It's a long story ...
