Title: Capturing Autumn
Post by: mybcjazz on November 09, 2009, 08:32:35 PM
Our friend came with my wife and I for a drive to see some autumn foliage.  As we walked back toward the car, she spotted these "floating" leaves, so I had her pose...look closely...the leaves (actually two) are SUSPENDED on a single strand of spider's web that I have NOT edited out...it is very thin and blending into the background, like it's supposed to do!

In His Grip,
Kevin

This is great - the depth of field is just right.  What a great capture.

Awesome shot, Kevin!  I love it!  Great bokeh, too.

Praise the Lord, I can even see the spider web when I look real close.  Couldn't have done that 2 weeks ago.  :)

No I haven't looked that closely, I was just wondering how she was managing to toss a leaf like that. A very nice juxtoposition between the hand and leaf, very lovely.

I'll add to them; great shot; looks like it should be in an ad somewhere.   You might think about marketing that one.

Whoa, that is awesome.  I can see the web, but just barely.  It blends in very nicely.  Your depth of field here is great.  the color of the leaves against the green is beautiful.  Nice touch with the hand pose.  I agree, I would market this.

Oh, and I might suggest cropping this at the bottom to just above the watch to bring more attention on that lovely leaf and the hand pose.  Great shot.
