Color Changing Leaves

This article is about a student who was interested in seeing the changing color of leaves without waiting for weeks. To make this happen, he set out on his own nature photography adventure. To do this, he did a time lapse in which he took over 6000 photographs of the leaves. He made his time lapse studio using duct tape and a card board box and bought a different battery to allow his camera to run continuously.

This time lapse helped clear up some misconceptions about how leaves change color. Many assume that red and yellow leaves go through the same processes to change color, but they do not. This time lapse of photos provides evidence for this. Although there is still a lot that is not understood about leaves changing colors, this project provided some interesting information.

I found this article to be interesting because I have never seen a photography project done like this. The video of the photos almost looks like it is not real, so I was fascinated by that. The fact that it provided more information about how leaves change color was something that also interested me. Photography can reveal much more about the world than I thought.
