Seeing in Watercolor

Now that our daughter has hit the 3 month mark we both have more time on our hand.  Between doing some construction work, spending time with the family I was able to resume my personal photo activity.  About 2 weeks ago we visiting relatives in Pointe-à-la-croix, while I was there I took the time to scout the area.  For some reason, I love white birch and everywhere I go if there’s some around it’s most likely where I’ll be.

Can’t say if these where naturally grown or planted there on purpose, they were all in small group at various depth in the wood.  The light was gently diffused but more emphasized on the foreground.  This made the perfect setting to experiment with a slow shutter speed.  The dark tone of green against those tall straight wood gave proper contrast.

Now you might wonder why the title is Seeing in Watercolor?  It’s simple,  For the last few months I’ve been thinking on giving Watercolor a try.  Someday, I’d like to reproduce these shots on paper to give it a different dynamic and a new challenge for me.

It is scary enough to think bright colored leaves are now turning to brown and with the blowing wind it’s just a question of time before the trees become denuded of their beautiful foliage.  The month of November is somewhat interesting but it often takes you more to get you out of bed, November has a monochromatic feel and vibrant colors are absent other than the few red bow and Christmas wreaths hanging here and there.  It may feel to some people a bit depressing at time but there is always something interesting to play with when you carefully take the time to explore and play.
