Photography of fall leaves in an Indiana creek, fall 2025.
Believe it or not, I have more Creek Leaves photos to share,

Impressions of Fall 2025 – Part 1
Another year and another fall in Indiana. This year was much different than the previous few. Drought and a warm fall resulted in sporadic color change in the local trees and forests.
It was just after mid-October, when we arrived in Indiana, a time when the local forest fall foliage would normally be highly apparent. This year many trees were still fully green, a few had already changed almost completely and other were just exhibiting the seasonal change in color.
The “peak”, if it can be called that this year, came the first week in November and it was muted, compared to a “normal” year. I’m afraid this will become the “normal” in the future as climate change, which is not a “hoax”, continues its rapid advance.
For these ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) abstract images in a forest, one can include the sky or exclude it. I find that I prefer those images with the sky limited or excluded, which usually requires cropping the image in post processing.
The direction of the light is also a factor in these image. Side light produces alternating light and dark patterns across the image, which I tend to prefer.
Stay tuned for more fall impressions,

Multiple Exposure Fall – Part 4
This is the final portion of my fall photography using in camera multiple exposure.

Multiple Exposure Fall – Part 3
This is a continuation of my fall photography, using in camera multiple exposures.
“Hole in Log” surprised me. There was a leaf in a hole in an old log, which I photographed, then placed a leaf over that hole and photographed it. I expected to see at least part of the leaf in the hole showing through in the multiple exposure, but the blackness of the hole resulted in the pixels in the leaf over the hole taking precedence, resulting in a shape in the covering leaf in the shape of the hole.

This is a continuation of my initial experimentation with in-camera multiple-exposure images.

Multiple Exposure Fall – Part 1
In addition to experimentation with a fisheye lens this fall, I also dabbled with in camera multiple exposure techniques, which offers many possibilities. My results were mixed, ranging from images that I liked to those that were total failures. It appears that I have much to learn about this photographic technique and I will continue working this.
I used only two images and an average of the pixels for all of these images, as that seemed to be a reasonable and simple starting point. More images can be used and there are other options of how the images are combined in camera.
In this series, I will share the images that I think worthy, even if some are not so appealing.
Before I ventured out for an intensive photo shoot, I began by making simple images around our cabin.
I began with the simplest of images, such as the one above with horizontal and vertical images.
Then I began to incorporate ICM (intentional Camera Movement) in at least one of the images.
Sometimes, I just moved the camera a little between shots, to get such images as Multiplying Leaves and Picasso Forest.
Another technique is to shoot the same scene with the first shot a simple, sharply focused image, then completely defocusing the image to a complete blur for the second image. I had most difficulty with this method, but still got a few good images.
The yellow and brown color around these leaves is created by the fully unfocused image of these leaves.
More multiple exposures to follow,
