Some more leaves I found on my Dec 24th walk. I must admit that I arranged them on this storm drain, as the way I found them wasn't as compositionally pleasing. You can see the difference that the light makes. Since these were on the ground they were basically front-lit, and you can't see the structure of the leaves as well as in my previous leaf post. But I do appreciate the contrast between the natural and man-made here, and the difference in texture between the smooth leaves and the rusting storm drain.
Also: if you're still on the fence about making New Year's Resolutions (which I am for, honestly, because why not?), you might want to check out Gretchen Rubin's 6 Tips for Sticking to Your Resolutions or (the more photography-appropriate) The Online Photographer's advice about what kind of resolutions you'd be better off making.
And it's not too late to get on Jim M Goldstein's list of photoblogger's best of 2010. The deadline is January 8.
Plus, a look at the question: is digital cheaper than film? Not sure how I feel about that, honestly.

Love this composition...and the way those leaves glow!
ReplyDeleteI think digital is cheaper than film, but the equipment is an investment, like others, furniture, stereos, iPads, etc. The leaves look perfect there and I wouldn't tell anyone I did it, LOL, like not mentioning my spray water bottle I keep in my camera bag in the spring time.
