Moss & Lichen

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 12 February 2008 in Plant & Nature.

The deciduous trees in north central Oregon are covered with moss and lichen, making them an iridescent green in the winter, instead of grey and brown. Just lovely.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

I really like the detail you've captured here, Anita. Excellent use of depth of field.

@Paul Michko: The depth of field was enforced on me by the lack of tripod and the overcast sky.

Great colors, and even though you won't take full credit for the DOF, it works really well! You have captured the textures wonderfully....

There's something about the way you use light. This is not the first of your macros that made me think of ocean plants (or coral reefs). I can almost see the plant moving in an ocean current (even though I know it is rigidly on the branch).
