I always have exposure and lighting problems with photographing reds.
It comes out as either dark or light, but not the correct shade or tone of the subject, even with a little bit of adjustments.
Our Japanese Maple tree gave me lots of chances at working with reds.
Blowing in the wind …
A dark and light …
This is more the shade of red that was on the tree, but it came out a bit dark … but I like that shade, anyway …
Maybe it didn’t help that I was taking these photos at the end of the day, when the last rays of the day’s sun was slowly going out …
I think I did pretty good this year!
A little bit of this and that ...
