You Capture - Apples

Beth's You Capture assignment this week was to photograph apples. She didn't specify what forms the apples should be in so I had all sorts of ideas but most of them required more work than I could muster the energy and wherewithal to pursue. (That sentence even confused me.)

Anyway, on Tuesday I waited for the photographic golden hour and headed for the best known apple orchard in our area - Garwoods where I immediately started trespassing. I feared falling and dogs but nothing else and kept shooting until it was too dark to continue.

Here's what I came up with.

And here's what I learned. While some apple colors are quite vibrant and others might pale in comparison, either one can result in a pleasing photo.

For lots of pleasing and perhaps beautiful apple pictures, visit Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry and for even more fun, link up!
