Found a new toy today: An Elinchrom Fiberlight. A fiber optic cable attachment for Elinchrom studio lights. It offers great control of light on small objects. Found some interesting leaves in the garden and set about backlighting them. This was the result.
Lighting info:
Leaf was lit from directly behind with a single fiber optic cable so the light would not spill onto the outer edges.
One of the few remaining vine leaves on a wall at work, love watching the colours turn, thought i'd try a texture for this one as its been ages since i have done any texture work.

From a recent trip to the Mt Coot-tha Botanical Garden tropical greenhouse. Part of my leaf texture series!

This is me trying to learn some of the tricks with my camera and program. Rember, I'm just a begginer!
Race Brook Falls Trail, southwest Massachusetts.
Loren and I took a hike up this trail today to inspect for downed limbs and trees after the high winds the last few days. It was also an opportunity for me to try out the new Canon G7X which I got to replace the Sony RX100 III which I recently sold.
These are three untouched JPEGs straight out of the camera. All I did was crop them square. Impressive.
The Sony RX100 takes remarkable images but it's physical ergonomics are a problem for me: flush mounted buttons, a control-by-wire front control wheel and very slow operation.
The Canon G7X is essentially the same camera done by Canon. Very similar size and shape, same 1" sensor, nice flip up LCD for ground level shots, front control wheel with clicks (a bit too loud actually), much faster operation, better physical controls and a better menu system.
It feels much like a bigger, more capable Canon S90/95/100/110/120, etc.
I noticed that in high ISO JPEGS (no RAW converter yet) there is some smearing and this was true of the Sony RX100 (all models) as well.
It takes a while to get to know a new camera and for me the jury is still out on this one. I definitely like it better than the Sony RX100 but nothing compares with my Ricoh GR so I need to keep this camera long enough to sort that out.
Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore.
There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.
