Icy Leaf
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 8 January 2009 in Plant & Nature.
I took this in mid-December in my backyard. All we have is rain now. Natural light, 100 mm macro lens. I don't like is as much as the last post, but, I seem to be running out of images! Must do something about that.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
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.

To be running out of images is a common situation. :)

I thought maybe you took this yesterday... we had a pretty good ice storm! Great shot, Anita!

@Betty: No ice here, just rain. Did you get some photos?

Ice is so beautiful and combined with the rust colored leaf it is stunning.

haha i know that feeling!! this image is great though Anita - it captures the movement of the water drop perfectly and the timing is spot on showing the strain of the water in its fight against gravity - the previous image is quite static so it is good to see both! top stuff!

Frost captured the leaves before they fell off. Nice colors and light.
