I've posted shots like this before...it's one of my favorite subjects when visiting my in-laws!  Shot a little more than a week ago, before the weather here started to turn so blasted windy and cold! Mamiya NC1000 on Fuji Superia 100. Long exposure (actual time unrecorded) @ f/16, on a tripod. |

#1 is really great. There is no better light than backlit autumn leaves. It is one of the best autumnal photos I saw this year. My congratulations. Best regards Peter PS: I like those backlit leaves so much... (OK these were spring leaves...)  |

Thanks. I enjoy doing landscapes, and my father-in-law's 60 acres is one of my favorite places to shoot. Most of it is woods (none of it is farmed anymore...he's almost 90), and I never get tired of roaming around, looking at all the possibilities. This one had all the right elements in one place...nice latticework shadows, strong backlit leaves, a dark woods in shadow in the background, to really set it off...and that neat old tractor, to give it someplace for your eye to focus. All I did was go out at the right time.....oh, and take a camera with me!  Your spring leaves are a nicely seen picture, too. I like it very much!  |

Nice shots Ron, I always like old machinery of any sort especially outdoor pictures. Hi Peter, spring leaves are an excellent subject too. Looking thru my pictures at Photobucket for a backlit leaf shot I remembered this:  While not a leaf shot, I spotted this while I was at a local waterfall. Any guesses on its use? Ok, you sit in this contraption to hand pull yourself across the brink of a waterfall (I'm serious here) to work on or maintain what I believe is part of the US border's security net. The falls is on the border itself, and the equipment looks more like a weather related piece but could be anything security related these days. Nosey bugger that I am, I climbed in thinking what a great spot for next spring. Park directly over the center of the falls, about 10 feet over the water for spectacular shooting. Trouble is it's padlocked to the pole and I believe bolt cutters might provoke a different sort of shooting. HMMMMMM. |
