Oct 1 - Exit





I like this picture for its lines, simplicity and rich colours. I doesn't fit too well with my challenge though, so I had to do better later in the month.


EXIF: 105 mm, 1/50 sec, f 3.5, ISO: 200

Oct. 2 - Wet Morning




This was taken early in the morning, handheld, so I had to up the ISO quite a bit. It's still not completely sharp, but it's okay for handheld


I'm not sure about the composition, but I kinda like it


EXIF: 105 mm, 1/80 sec, f 8, ISO: 800

Oct. 3 - Leaves at night





I like the colors here, they are not completely natural, the white balance is wrong, so the colors are alot colder then they should be. When i adjusted it though, I didn't like it as much as I do now, so I decided to leave them be.

Shot in the evening, hand held.


EXIF: 105 mm, 1/100 sec, f 5.6, ISO: 1600

I like the blue leaves. It gives the shot a neat other-worldly sci-fi look.
