Maple Leaf Pasta Shells
This composition of pasta shells kept reminding of a maple leaf and once that thought takes hold, it's hard to shake.
Storm Dennis kept me indoors so macro work on the kitchen table passed the time.
A fun twist on my “Maple Leaf Flag” image that I thought I’d share today as well! This image consists of a spider web that is sprayed with water, and a print of the image placed in behind, upside-down. When light refracts through a lens it flips, so the upside-down image returns to the camera in the correct orientation. Each water droplet acts like a little lens, showing us the image in behind!
Thinking the number of droplets might be close to 150, I counted them – almost exactly 200. A little room to grow is never a bad thing! Like the past 150 years, some droplets have had more impact and are more noticeable than others but all of them make up the web of our history.
To create an image like this, the flash is placed off camera at a fairly perpendicular angle to the lens – this keeps the catch-light from the flash off of the fronts of the droplets. The red background is actually the out-of-focus center leaf from the image. Usually when I create refraction images with flowers, the center of the flower – and any colour it possesses, becomes the background.
I tried to get the web to be parallel to the focal plane of the camera, but it’s hard to get everything perfectly aligned. A few frames were “focus stacked” to get most of the web nice and sharp, but a little fall-off in the bottom left corner helps give the image a little bit of visual direction. This was one of my first attempts at focus stacking and my first experiment using something other than a flower from a refraction; so much was learned when creating this image!
If you’re going to use an image as a background and refraction object, a size of around 6” x 6” tends to work nicely. Square formats work best so that you get the refraction filled as completely as possible but without losing anything off the edges that you might have wanted inside the droplets. If you see the edges of the print, just move it closer to the droplets.
These are incredible fun images to make and I teach workshops that give you the tools and skills required to make them: www.donkom.ca/product/macro-photography-workshops/
Wishing everyone a continued Happy Canada Day!

This belongs to my Maple Study series. All the maple tree shots happened around the same maple tree within about 20 minutes on November 18, 2007.

There is a maple tree in CT that I always like to visit in the fall. It always drops the nicest reddest leaves.

November 16 2018
Our first snow came while trees still held some of their fall leaves. High winds during the storm brought down more leaves. Rain throughout the morning erased most of the snow, leaving mottled pockets of snow and bare ground.

Childhood memories!
The innocent fun you could have with those twirly thingies, throwing them up, running after them (kept us fit!), guarding and treasuring your 'best' ones!
I created a propeller with the ‘maple-copters’.
More fun from Studio Indigo, lol.
INFO: Found under a tree in bonnie Scotland.
Maple trees (Acer) produce winged seeds called double samaras, which twirl to the ground in late summer or early fall.
They resemble helicopters in motion, earning them the common name of helicopters or whirligigs.
The seeds vary slightly in size and colouring among species, but all produce winged seeds affectionately called helicopters.
Have a fun day and thank you, M, (*_*)
