Leaf

FADING LIGHT

25.11.20

With the shortest day just over three weeks away, daylight hours are limited. Overcast days are a thing we just get used to but with dullness comes new challenges. Rain wont stop me searching and there’s always a little detail which catches my eye like this flame like leaf sat against the dark rotten leaves.

EXPERIMENT

13.11.20

Italian Arum growing in a pile of wood chips with a little backlight poking through the trees illuminating the thick white veins on the leaf. Although this is far from the ‘natural’ colours, I got pretty bored of editing it so went to town on the sliders. Still not quite happy, like a kid scribbling with a crayon, I raced though experimenting with colours and split toning and abruptly stopped when I hit some fiery oranges.

AUTUMN LEAF

30.10.19

It’s just a wet leaf on a saturated tree stump but I struggled to even pull the camera out my bag today. Made me realise how shooting for 5 years not stop can catch up with you!
