Fall is Upon Us

Fall Leaves.jpg

Well, no sense denying it, fall is here. I went to the Washington Park Arboretum to take pictures. The light was perfect but I missed the morning dew by about an hour. I seem to recall that standard macro equipment for nature photography includes a spray bottle of water. If I'd had one, I could have put some extra water drops in this shot for good effect.

I really am not all that happy with this picture. It's just OK. I under exposed it trying to keep from losing the top of the loose leaf from being over exposed. Sometimes I wonder how I would do with a roll of film compared to my digital shots. HDR didn't work for me either due to the subtle wind that kept shifting the branches.

Here's the original from the post that was "shopped" a couple of days ago. Unfortunately I didn't notice the reflection in the clock face until after I was done shooting. It's a blue ceramic bowl that Suzanne custom made for me... maybe I'll shoot that next.

I picked this clock up a few years ago. It usually sits on my mantle, but today it went to my studio (aka my dining room table) for a photoshoot. I gave it a nice selenium treatment.

Here's an old dead thistle I picked from beside the freeway least year. There's something about these that's really cool. The pattern is soft yet prickly.

A nice pic of my new MacBook Pro. You can also check out my old pic of my G4 powerbook Titanium in the archives. I did this one in the dark to show off the lighted keyboard.
