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.
~ Albert Schweitzer
Incredible color on this backlit Japanese maple leaf (note also that this is the back of the maple leaf, very well lit by the sun). When I shot straight towards the sun, I got a silhouette... this is slightly away from the sun, but still backlit.. Voilà ! A whole new image. Wow! Unbelievable! This result amazes me because it feels like this picture is taken in a dark room with some artificial light. I will continue to investigate more. Backlighting is very interesting! I have so much to learn!
I created a number of Substack posts with images (and some of these images will be included in subsequent posts on my Wordpress site, kenstravelphoto.com) of individual or groups of fallen fall leaves. This is one of those in the "Grounded Leaves" category. These are common scenes found anywhere there are fall leaves around. So maybe nothing special, just a capture of the simple beauty of such scenes.
