Ufficialmente aperta la stagione autunno - inverno 2011!

The underside of a begonia leaf.

I wanted to show the veins of the leaf in this shot with some good contrasts from the sunlight brought on by some subtle shadowing. Did that make sense? I wish that I understood it.

What I wanted to do here was show the veins of the leaf. I really like the complexity of these veins as they add so much texture to what could be a very flat surface. I could lapse into telling you all about their function but you have Wikipedia for that!

Goodybye Fall- Hello Winter... a reminder of the wonderful fall colours--not as crisp as I would like- I thought I liked snow and I am sure getting some practise taking pictures of it but they all stink!!! Practise practise... and more practise ---Maple Leaf Madness Nov 21 2008e IMG_7938

Bored one afternoon, I noticed how interesting the shapes and colors were on my poinsettia plant as it's leaves change from the traditional Christmas red to a crisp green. I first tried to capture the leaves using traditional macro photography, but was uninspired by the results, then I thought about using my scanner, with the transparency adapter to scan the leaves, this got me excited. From a single leaf to a whole series of groupings composited in Photoshop and printed fairly large, this image was printed 25 inches tall. Created using an Epson Expressions 1640XL large format graphics scanner with transparency adapter.

I found this leaf in the car park at Waitrose. Don't ask me why it was special amongst all the other leaves, but it was. I thought it very beautiful. I brought it home and took its photo and now I feel inspired to photograph lots of other leaves. Just like this - on a plain white background, to show off the leaf.

Nice large if you have time :-)

Scanned on an Epson V500 scanner.

Found an excellent article on shooting ice today in our new library (photos to come:) Check out the latest Popular Photography magazine. I was pleased to see I had done several of the techniques they suggested, although I didn't need a polarizing filter - no clear ice...

This was at one of the most interesting and characteristic environment of Bogotá, the humedal. Here, native people call them "nature mirrors".

This Green Lynx spider was basking on this milkweed leaf in luke warm sun rays of dawn.

The best part I like in this picture is that one can count all 8 eyes of this jumping spider!
