Re: What the hell..........some leaves!
Anyone would think it was Autumn or something! Lovely set Steve. On their own they aren't that strong but when you present them as a set they work really well.

Ditto... It's the dof and more interesting lighting that makes that one stand out above the others.

Re: What the hell..........some leaves!
#4 - simply stunning. Good stuff!

Presumably this was this with your 5D classic (love the rebranding!) but can I ask which of the three lenses in you sig you used and at which f-stop for shot #4?

It was with the 24-70mm at f/2.8......should have used f/5.6 or higher as I lost some sharpness on the leaf extremes.

Groan! Leaf it out will you, that's terrible!

Nice pics and it's a good time of year to take photos of the ground... and get lots of strange looks from passers-by.

Re: What the hell..........some leaves!
I'd say those are very nice leaf shots, especially the shallow depth of field ones. Well done with the light too.

Nice shot, but there is something the boys' eyes that suggests they are not entirely enjoying the caper

Re: What the hell..........some leaves!
Continuing with the leaves theme....here's a couple taken with my Nikon D40 and a SMC Takumar 55mm 1.8...all manual !!

1...Last leaf standing



2...This is the reverse shot of the first one....particularly like the vein like pattern.



Comments good or bad welcome (owner of my first DSLR for only 6 weeks !!)

Cheers
Terry

An Autumn shot.......Fallen leaves on a lake...just liked the many varieties, shapes and colours of the leaves...almost like a painters palette.

Re: What the hell..........some leaves!
As this thread has become a kind of unofficial leaf thread I though I'd stick this up for the craic. Not sure if it qualifies with the stones... but hey ho hum.
