organic leaf green

28mm f4.0 1/100s ISO100
experienced through exposure. weather, sunburst and insect creature alike use the leaf hard.  the phylum, the slide, the xylem and the cut... this flora stands firm. rigid. flowing, tall. organic leaf green. strong.

  3. This photograph was taken in late afternoon sun near the coast. The leaf is from a "elephant ear" plant. My lens was near flush with the leaf aligned with the plane of sunlight. It allowed for the main leaf vein to cast shadow across the far side. Looking at it I could see a thousand different greens. It was beautiful.

  4. Just wanted to thank you for the comments and also let you know that was literally one of my first pictures with my new lens. Man learning about that lens 'hands on' is a completely different experience. It has been a total blast but completely different than anything I have ever learned. Thanks also for the background of your picture it is simply gorgeous!

  6. Great picture. In fact I like what you're doing with this blog - it's quite different from most others. Do you use a tripod? If not, you must have steady hands, it so what do you use?
