A colourful Walk..
On Monday we hiked into the south end of heart lake and spent the morning and part of the afternoon, wandering through the woods taking photos of the brilliant coloured trees. The pathway was covered in a carpet of leaves that crunched under our feet as we walked.
There is nothing quite like being in the middle of a forest, when it is raining leaves from the lofty canopy overhead.

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.
As a child, we would throw these seeds up in the air, delighting when they propelled around to the ground. To us they were helicopters.
Projected Contest Entry
Subject: Wet Object
Award: 2nd Place
Taken at the creek at Sharon Woods, a Hamilton County Park in the Sharonville suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The water was quite still as the creek was quite dry and not visibly flowing. I don't know what was causing the bubbles or why the shadow seems so strange.

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!
I got a new light table for Christmas and had a brief play with it today. I photographed these maple leaves on it, inverted the shot and applied "Glow In The Dark" setting within Topaz Adjust 5 to it to get this effect.
The maple trees in the area were extremely full of seeds this year. They can be quite the mess. If you don't get them picked up fairly quick, you've got trees growing in the yard.
This particular pile was left behind as the waters around the lake receded. There are literally thousands of little maples growing in the fields nearby! Seems they enjoy the wet slimy mud left by the river.
