Summer’s Gone – Fall Back
We woke to a scattering of snowflakes on the porch Sunday morning, a sure sign that summer is gone, fall is fading, and winter isn’t too far off. Additionally, we “fell back” an hour, changing the clocks back to Standard time. So, as I’d done earlier this year when we advanced the clocks an hour to daylight savings time, I wanted to do a “clock theme” for my Project 52 this week.
I took my camera down to Meridian City Hall where I like the old clock reproduction they have placed there.
You’ll note the time says about 7:32 p.m. What you can’t see in the photograph is the temperature. It was about
40-degrees when I took this. Had this been taken in the summer, the sun might have still been well above the
horizon and the temp well over 90-degrees. Quite a difference the seasons make in Idaho!
I also used the HDR (high-dynamic range) technique for these shots, shooting three exposures and combining them into one with the HDR software. For the shot that is black& white here, the exposures were all at ISO 100, f/22 and were 30, 15, and 5-seconds, producing the three exposures that were later combined to one.
I liked both the monochrome and color treatments and so decided to include both.
There’s a few leaves left on some of the trees, but fall is fading fast. Tonight when I head home from work and it’s already getting dark, the time change will really hit home. The cold, dark days of winter are coming.
