Fall Ball

by Philippe Sainte-Laudy

Autumn has arrived in France and nature gives us gifts. Photo taken near Strasbourg.

Equipment: Nikon D300 – Sigma 10/20mm

Philippe Sainte-Laudy

The beauty of nature is all around us at all times, but there are brief moments when a combination of elements present themselves
in a truly spectacular way.
Anybody who is fortunate enough to witnesses one of these events will look back fondly upon the memory.
And they are even more fortunate if they happen to have a camera ready to record the event.
In order to be in the right place at the right time, it is necessary to understand the complex interactions between light, weather, landscape, the tides, plants, and animals. And it is important to have a deep respect for this planet and its inhabitants.
I hope that photography can bring people closer to nature and encourage them to preserve it for future generations.

Good color vibrancy. Like looking into a non water aquarium and seeing the same vibrant results of a colorful, vibrant aquarium!

The composition makes this better than the usual autumn leaves photos. The trees and the reflection make a perfect circle. I especially like this one!
