Boosting Autumn Colors

[Jim DeLillo]

 

 

Brilliant reds and yellows pop from these images because of the use of a rare-earth filter.
Jim DeLillo has announced today that he has added new images using this technique to his 'Autumn' gallery at

http://jim-delillo.artistwebsites.com/

These images were recently taken in New Jersey and enhanced using the special on-camera filter to further saturate and beautify the colors of the fall foliage.

The filter is made from Didymium, a mixture of the rare-earth elements praseodymium and neodymium. Filters made from the material selectively block colors while letting other parts of the spectrum through.

 

And, blue skies will always benefit from a polarizing filter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The photos added to the gallery include "Liquid Autumn", where DeLillo has composed the photo to include only the reflection in the ripples of a pond.

 

"I like to look for the unexpected." DeLillo said. "One of the best ways to find a new angle is to look in reflections."

DeLillo's collection at Fine Art America includes other brilliantly saturated subjects and all are available as cards and on-demand prints. The prints may be flat, framed or mounted gallery style on streched canvas.
