Charles C Deam Wilderness Fall 2024

The Charles C Deam Wilderness is southeast of Bloomington, Indiana and less than an hours drive via back roads from the cabin in which my wife and were staying for several weeks in the fall of 2024. I drove to the parking lot with the old fire lookout tower, where a trail into the wilderness begins, early one morning for a fall photo hike into the forest.

Multiple Exposure Fall – Part 3

This is a continuation of my fall photography, using in camera multiple exposures.

Hole in Log

“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.

Fish Walk 2 – A Fall Photo Hike with a Fisheye Lens – Part 1

In the fall of 2024, I began to experiment with using a 16mm fisheye lens for forest photography. This blog series contains images from my second woodland hike with this lens.

The Embrace

The old, mossy log in this image gets its curved shape from the fisheye lens, making it appear to be embracing the small tree with its yellow leaves of fall.
